NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF RADIATION CHARACTERISTICS OF ULTRASOUND TRANSDUCERS BY MEANS OF THE CONCURRENT ALGORITHM

The radiation characteristics of the ultrasound transducers can be calculated by means of the concurrent algorithm. This approach is necessary when the calculations are performed on a computer cluster and additionally allows to enhance greatly the overall efficiency of such an algorithm. This paper presents the analysis of radiation characteristic of a few ultrasound transducers obtained by means of the concurrent algorithm. The algorithm bases on the spatial impulse response method and is implemented on an openMosix heterogeneous cluster.
