A Theoretical Study on the Performance of the FDTD Code on a Massively Parallel Computer

Abstract

In this report we present a theoretical study on the performance of an implementation of the FDTD code on a massively parallel computer. The finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is one of the most popular approaches for the numerical modelling of a wide variety of electromagnetic wave interaction problems. The analysis presented is carreid out for radar cross section (RCS) prediction but can with minor adaptations, be used for other electomagnetic problems.
