Parallel Computation of Electromagnetic Fields Based on Integral Equations

This paper addresses the analysis of electromagnetic radiation and scattering problems in parallel using the method of moments (MoM) as implemented in the computer code FEKO. The parallelisation of all steps of the solution process including geometry setup, parallel computation of the matrix elements using a distributed storage scheme, solution of the system of linear equations, and near- and far-field calculations is discussed and some results concerning the achieved scalability are presented.
