Abstract
An attempt has been made to model EM scattering problems on a highly parallel MIMD environment. A generalized many body model has been developed and a solution methodology indicated. The complex conjugate approach has been shown to be ammenable to parallel computation for problems that use MM methods. Although a lot of work needs to be done to model complex problems, the present model has shown some promise and has led to the development of techniques for parallel decomposition of EM problems of this type. The diverse applications of the general model covering: modelling of EM effects on biological bodies, radiation interference in printed circuit boards and the stringent radiation requirements by regulatory bodies all point to the enormous potential benefits that may come from parallel computing.
