PARALLEL CARLOS-3D - AN ELECTROMAGNETIC BOUNDARY INTEGRAL METHOD FOR PARALLEL PLATFORMS

CARLOS-3D is a three-dimensional general purpose computer code for cal culating the scattering from complex three-dimensional bodies. The cod e uses the method of moments technique with Galerkin testing, to solve the Statton-Chu integral equations for the specified geometry. All of the surfaces describing the scatterer are replaced by equivalent elec tric and magnetic currents which are then determined via the solution of a matrix equation. The parallel implementation of this code is disc ussed together with the parallel in-core solver developed at Sandia Na tional Laboratories. Results for the parallel performance of the code are presented. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
