Abstract :
In this paper large full-wave simulations are performed using a parallel Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm (MLFMA) implementation. The data structures of the MLFMA-tree are partitioned according to the so-called hierarchical partitioning scheme, while the radiation patterns are partitioned in a blockwise way. To test the implementation of the algorithm, a full-wave simulation of a canonical example with more than 50 millions of unknowns has been performed.
