Abstract :
In this paper, we present an overview of parallelization of WIPL-D 3D EM solver and present examples of electrically large structures simulated on a small computer cluster. A helicopter up to 51 lambda long was used as a benchmark example for illustrating parallelization efficiency. Radar cross section from the 51 lambda long helicopter is calculated in 72 minutes on a low-cost 8-node cluster.
