An antenna analysis algorithm based on the method of moments is decomp
osed for execution in a custom-designed computer network, namely, the
extended transputer processor farm system. It comprises Inmos T801 tra
nsputers and Intel 80486 single-processor boards. Special techniques h
ave been developed for solving the antenna problem in paralleL Softwar
e was written to handle low-level tasks for parallel processing. Compa
red with the conventional process farm system, the modified architectu
re is faster yet much cheaper to implement. The system is applicable t
o similar parallel algorithms with a high computation-to-communication
ratio. Satisfactory computational speedup is observed.
