Abstract

This paper deals with parallel computation in electromagnetics. The boundary integral method has been developed to solve scattering by a perfect electric conducting or perfect dielectric bodies. Only parallel computation enables to modelize large devices. We present the implementation of the code on a distributed memory parallel machine. We focus in particular on the parallelization of the BiCGStab solver. Parallel performances are presented with a 2000 degrees of freedom problem.
