Abstract :
In this paper, OpenMP is employed to speedup the EM scattering simulation with NURBS-HOMM, and the comparison of OpenMP and MPI is not the aim of this paper. The examples are executed on a PC of quad-core processor and the servers of multi-core processors, and the obtained results show that CPU time is much reduced and good parallel efficiency is achieved.
