Abstract :
This paper introduces some of the latest extensions and improvements to the electromagnetic kernel of the field computation package FEKO as made available in Suite 6.0: The accelerated MoM with different enhancements and extensions like e.g. acceleration of the hybrid FEM-MoM with MLFMM, ACA compression of MoM matrices, GPU computing and a hybrid MPI/OpenMP parallelisation strategy for mixed distributed/ shared memory configurations (e.g. cluster with multicore CPUs in the nodes). Extensions to windscreen antenna modelling are also briefly discussed.
