A Framework And Simulator for Parallel Fast Integral Equation Simulation of Microelectronic Structures

As a part of IBM's special session, this paper presents a framework and integral equation-based 3D electromagnetic simulator for parallel simulation of microelectronic structures including those of interest to IBM. The translators, mesher, and simulator is described and is validated for initial cases. Progress on the IBM benchmark is reported
