Abstract
The numerical solution of electromagnetic problems is a computationally intensive task and use of high-performance parallel computing facilities are necessary for the larger class of practical problems in scattering, propagation and antenna modeling. It is therefore necessary to carefully consider algorithm optimizations aimed at improving the code’s run time performance on the computing platform employed. Although some performance improvement can be derived from compiler-level optimizations, further speed-up may involve manual effort in algorithm restructuring, data layout, and parallelization.
