Abstract :
The performance of the parallel out-of-core method of moments (MoM) with higher-order basis functions is analyzed. The I/O to hard disk significantly affects the performance of the out-of-core algorithm. In order to reduce the I/O time, solid state drives (SSD) with high read and write speeds are utilized. Numerical results show that the algorithm using SSD outperforms that using SAS hard drives and the direct solver of the out-of-core LU factorization achieves the same performance as its in-core counterpart.
