<FONT face=Verdana>Based on the architecture of a popular parallel platform and properties of extremely large targets
a high-performance parallel multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is proposed and implemented. A detailed description of the proposed parallel MLFMA is presented by a style of multilevel development from a coarser to finer consideration. Along with numerical experiments to analyze numerical performance of each part of the algorithm
the efficiency
accuracy and capability of the parallel MLFMA are well demonstrated. This high-performance parallel MLFMA has successfully computed scatterings by targets with over 310 millions unknowns and more than 2000 wavelengths in sizes.
