Abstract

The boundary integral method is used to solve problems of scattering by perfect electrically conducting or perfect dielectric bodies. Because this method requires large memory storage, it is implemented on a distributed memory parallel computer. The assembling is performed by nodal contribution, and the BiCGStab(m) algorithm is used for solving. Performances are analyzed using several large problems
