Abstract :
This paper presents a parallel implementation of a partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) based electromagnetic modeling code. The parallelization is based on the GMM++ and ScaLAPACK packages. The parallel PEEC solver was successfully implemented and tested on several high performance computer systems. Large structures containing over 50 000 unknown current and voltage basis functions were successfully analyzed and memory, performance, and speedup results are presented. The numerical examples are both of orthogonal and nonorthogonal type with analysis in the time- and frequency- domain.
