Analysis of Large-Scale EM Scattering Problems Using the Parallel FDTD on a PC Cluster System
We present a parallel algorithm for the FDTD method on a distributed network by using the message passing module.The computation space is divided into some sub-domains.Then the fields inside each sub-domain are computed on an individual processor with a small amount of data being communicated from neighboring sub-domains.The special boundaries in the FDTD domain
such as absorbing boundaries
connective boundaries and near-to-far fields transform boundaries are dealt with particularly.In this paper
a parallel programming console of Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) is used
which denotes a message passing library and a daemon to carry out the parallel programs.
