Abstract :
Distributed computing techniques offer the potential to significantly reduce the run time of transmission-line-matrix (TLM) calculations. This letter describes the implementation of a TLM model of a two-channel waveguide distributed across a network of workstations using parallel virtual machine (PVM). The methods for distributing the TLM matrix across the workstations and the effect on performance of different approaches are described and discussed
