Parallel FDTD Computing for Emc Simulation in High-Speed Electronics

Abstract

The paper presents and discusses the parallelized 3D finite-difference time-domain algorithm based on single-program multiple-data architecture using the MPI protocol for electromagnetic compatibility and signal integrity analysis and evaluation in high-speed designs. The efficiency for parallelization is verified through numerical experiments at IBM P640 and P690 multiprocessor high performance computers with up to 20 processors at different sizes of the problems.
