  • Abstract
    To solve large scale computing and scattering problems and to expand knowledge about iterative solvers, the authors developed the Fast Illinois Solver Code, which uses the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). They discuss FISC´s memory requirements and CPU time and give some empirically derived formulas and charts. The authors also plot examples they used to obtain these conclusions
