Abstract
A Parallel Method of Moments (PMoM) technique is introduced to analyse electrically large planar conducting structures. An integral equation is derived in terms of the induced conductivity currents, which is solved using entire domain Galerkin technique, with Chebyshev type basis functions. The resulting algorithm parallelisation enables for the proposed approach to be applied above the resonance region. Numerical results are computed for several scatterer sizes and excitations source types on varying HPC platforms. For the domain of electrically large planar scattering structures, various diverse computing platforms are compared for their applicability/suitability in solving fundamental electromagnetic problems. Their suitability is judged on ease of code porting and performance obtained.
