A step-by-step guide to parallelizing cem codes
The future of computational electromagnetics is changing drastically as
the new generation of computer chips evolves from single-core to
multi-core. The burden now falls on software programmers to revamp
existing codes and add new functionality to enable computational codes
to run efficiently on this new generation of multi-core CPUs. In this
book, you'll learn everything you need to know to deal with multi-core
advances in chip design by employing highly efficient parallel
electromagnetic code. Focusing only on the Method of Moments (MoM), the
book covers:
-
In-Core and Out-of-Core LU Factorization for Solving a Matrix Equation
-
A Parallel MoM Code Using RWG Basis Functions and ScaLAPACK-Based
In-Core and Out-of-Core Solvers
-
A Parallel MoM Code Using Higher-Order Basis Functions and
ScaLAPACK-Based In-Core and Out-of-Core Solvers
-
Turning the Performance of a Parallel Integral Equation Solver
-
Refinement of the Solution Using the Conjugate Gradient Method
-
A Parallel MoM Code Using Higher-Order Basis Functions and
Plapack-Based In-Core and Out-of-Core Solvers
-
Applications of the Parallel Frequency Domain Integral Equation Solver
Appendices are provided with detailed information on the various
computer platforms used for computation; a demo shows you how to compile
ScaLAPACK and PLAPACK on the Windows(R) operating system; and a demo
parallel source code is available to solve the 2D electromagnetic
scattering problems.
Parallel Solution of Integral Equation-Based EM Problems in the
Frequency Domain is indispensable reading for computational code
designers, computational electromagnetics researchers, graduate
students, and anyone working with CEM software.
