Parallel Solution of Integral Equation-Based EM Problems in the Frequency Domain

A step-by-step guide to parallelizing cem codes The future of computational electromagnetics is changingdrastically as the new generation of computer chips evolves fromsingle-core to multi-core. The burden now falls on softwareprogrammers to revamp existing codes and add new functionality toenable computational codes to run efficiently on this newgeneration of multi-core CPUs. In this book, you'll learneverything you need to know to deal with multi-core advances inchip design by employing highly efficient parallel electromagneticcode. Focusing only on the Method of Moments (MoM), the bookcovers:In-Core and Out-of-Core LU Factorization for Solving a MatrixEquationA Parallel MoM Code Using RWG Basis Functions andScaLAPACK-Based In-Core and Out-of-Core SolversA Parallel MoM Code Using Higher-Order Basis Functions andScaLAPACK-Based In-Core and Out-of-Core SolversTurning the Performance of a Parallel Integral EquationSolverRefinement of the Solution Using the Conjugate GradientMethodA Parallel MoM Code Using Higher-Order Basis Functions andPlapack-Based In-Core and Out-of-Core SolversApplications of the Parallel Frequency Domain Integral EquationSolverAppendices are provided with detailed information on the variouscomputer platforms used for computation; a demo shows you how tocompile ScaLAPACK and PLAPACK on the Windows® operatingsystem; and a demo parallel source code is available to solve the2D electromagnetic scattering problems.Parallel Solution of Integral Equation-Based EM Problems in theFrequency Domain is indispensable reading for computational codedesigners, computational electromagnetics researchers, graduatestudents, and anyone working with CEM software.
