Abstract :
A parallel implementation of the multilevel simply sparse method (MLSSM) representation of the EFIE impedance matrix is discussed. A nonblocking asynchronous communication protocol is used to transfer data between processors. Numerical examples demonstrate the performance and accuracy of the fill on a distributed memory parallel cluster.
