چکیده
In this paper, the parallel implementation of the Wave-Equation Finite Difference Time Domain (WE-FDTD) method, using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) system, is presented. The WE-FDTD computational domain is divided into subdomains using onedimensional topology. Numerical simulations have been carried out for a line current source radiating in two-dimensional domains of different sizes and performed on a network of different number of PCs interconnected with Ethernet. It has been observed that, for large computational domains, the parallel implementation of the WE-FDTD method provides a significant reduction in the computation time, when compared with the parallel implementation of the conventional FDTD algorithm.

Krylov subspace methods for the Dirac equation
The Lanczos algorithm is evaluated for solving the time-independent as well as the time-dependent Dirac equation with arbitrary electromagnetic fields. We demonstrate that the Lanczos algorithm can yield very precise eigenenergies and allows very precise time propagation of relativistic wave packets. The unboundedness of the Dirac Hamiltonian does not hinder the applicability of the Lanczos alg...

We present a numerical method, based on a three-dimensional finite volume wave-propagation algorithm, for solving the Vlasov equation in a full six-dimensional (three spatial coordinates, three velocity coordinates) case in length scales comparable to the size of the Earth’s magnetosphere. The method uses Strang splitting to separate propagation in spatial and velocity coordinates, and is secon...

A new parallel implementation of quantum confinement effects simulations for semiconductor devices is presented. In this simulation, a set of self-consistent Schrödinger and Poisson (SP) equations is solved with parallel divide and conquer and monotone iterative algorithms on a Linux-cluster with message-passing interface (MPI) library. To solve the Schrödinger equation, instead of the conventi...
متن کاملParallel Implementation of the Biorthogonal MRTD Method
The three-dimensional biorthogonal multi-resolution time-domain (Bi-MRTD) method is presented for both free-space and half-space scattering problems. The perfectly matched layer (PML) is used as an absorbing boundary condition. It has been shown that improved numerical-dispersion properties can be obtained with the use of smooth, compactly-supported wavelet functions as the basis, where here we...
متن کاملFdtd Computation for Large-scaled Numerical Dosimetry on Parallel Personal Computers
1. Introduction Since it is very difficult to quantify microwave absorption directly in a living human, dosimetry is forced to rely mainly on computer simulation with high-resolution numerical human models obtained from magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans. The Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method [1] is currently the most widely accepted means for the numer...
