Abstract :
We present a scalable method for efficient implementation of matrix formulation for finite difference time domain (FDTD) algorithm on parallel architectures. The matrix definition based on physical data properties and data division among grid nodes yielding minimal data transfer between them is described. Numerical performance is evaluated in the heterogeneous grid environment and two clusters.
