WIPL-D Parallelization Effort

Abstract

This paper presents the results of the final year of a development effort to provide a scalable, portable, parallel scene generation tool that provides the capability to rapidly generate scenes of radiating and scattering structures in realistically complex electromagnetic environments. The benefit of such a tool is that it will provide users with the capability to solve large problems that cannot be currently solved with existing sequential electromagnetic modeling tools. This tool supports a broad range of users including researchers, algorithm developers, analysts, and system developers. This paper will present the parallelization process and will show the final results of the project. The project presented here is the parallelization of WIPL-D, an electromagnetic modeling tool, which picks up in time from where [1] left off. Through parallelization, the well known and commercially available tool became faster and now possesses increased capabilities. This paper will walk you through the parallelization process, providing the strategies used and the results received.
