Parallel Implementations of the PEEC Method

摘要

This paper presents the first parallel implementation of a partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) based electromagnetic modelling code suitable for solving general electromagnetic problems. The parallelization is based on the GMM++ and ScaLAPACK packages which are cross-platform libraries available for major operating systems. The parallel PEEC solver has been tested on several high performance computer systems. Large structures containing over 250 000 unknown current and voltage basis functions were successfully analyzed for the first time with a general PEEC-solver. The numerical examples are of orthogonal type, studied both in the time and frequency domain, for which memory, performance, and speed-up results are presented.
