Basic high level computational knowledge for studying the toroidal confinement physics is discussed. Topics include the primacy hierarchy of simulation quantities in statistical plasma physics, importance of the nonlinear-multiscale self-organization phenomena in a computational study, different types of codes for different applications, and different types of computer architectures for different types of codes.
