Abstract :
Very large FDTD simulations are being developed to determine the underwater propagation of EM signals at ELF frequencies. Two different approaches are being use to handle the large computation spaces, the use of hardware and software by Acceleware, and the use of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) for parallelization.
