Parallel Scene Generation/Electromagnetic Modeling of Complex Targets in Complex Clutter and Propagation Environments

Abstract

Under the Department of Defense (DoD) Common High Performance Computing Software Support Initiative (CHSSI), the goal of this effort was to parallelize the electromagnetic modeling tool WIPL-D (Wires, Plates and Dielectrics). WIPL-D utilizes a Method of Moments technique to solve Maxwell's Equations. Three evaluation criteria were used to evaluate the effort: 1) accuracy of the code as compared to the commercial program WIPL-D; 2) scalability of the code when using multi-processor High Performance Computing (HPC) resources; and 3) portability of the code, by running on multiple HPC computers with different computing architectures. A demonstration of a cell phone beside a head was used to demonstrate the codes utility and performance.
