Abstract

An integral equation formulation in conjunction with a novel parallel method of moments (PMoM) is proposed to analyze the response of electrically large structures, consisting of conducting or dielectric parts, to a time harmonic excitation. The inherent parallelism of the introduced technique allows for the results to be obtained with minimal addition to the sequential code programming effort. Two indicative electromagnetic compatibility applications are presented, while the applicability/suitability of diverse high performance computing (HPC) platforms is judged, based on both performance obtained and ease of code portation
