Abstract

Real-world electromagnetic problems are becoming increasingly complex, so that the natural growth in computer power over time is not sufficient any more to keep pace with these requirements. Therefore, in addition to traditional solver techniques like FDTD, FEM or MoM also so-called fast algorithms find their way into commercial EM solver packages. In this paper, some aspects regarding the implementation and parallelization of the multilevel fast multipole method in the commercial field solver FEKO are discussed
