Item Open Access Benchmark Solutions of Large Problems for Evaluating Accuracy and Efficiency of Electromagnetics Solvers(IEEE, 2011) Ergul, O.; Gürel, LeventWe present a set of benchmark problems involving conducting spheres and their solutions using a parallel implementation of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Accuracy of the implementation is tested by comparing the computational results with analytical Mie-series solutions. Reference solutions are made available on an interactive website to evaluate and compare the accuracy and efficiency of fast solvers. We also demonstrate the capabilities of our solver on real-life problems involving complicated targets, such as the Flamme.Item Open Access Hierarchical parallelization of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA)(IEEE, 2013) Gürel, Levent; Ergül, ÖzgürDue to its O(N log N) complexity, the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is one of the most prized algorithms of computational electromagnetics and certain other disciplines. Various implementations of this algorithm have been used for rigorous solutions of large-scale scattering, radiation, and miscellaneous other electromagnetics problems involving 3-D objects with arbitrary geometries. Parallelization of MLFMA is crucial for solving real-life problems discretized with hundreds of millions of unknowns. This paper presents the hierarchical partitioning strategy, which provides a very efficient parallelization of MLFMA on distributed-memory architectures. We discuss the advantages of the hierarchical strategy over previous approaches and demonstrate the improved efficiency on scattering problems discretized with millions of unknowns. © 1963-2012 IEEE.Item Open Access Preconditioning iterative MLFMA solutions of integral equations(IEEE, 2010) Gürel, Levent; Malas, Tahir; Ergül, ÖzgürThe multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is a powerful method that enables iterative solutions of electromagnetics problems with low complexity. Iterative solvers, however, are not robust for three-dimensional complex reallife problems unless suitable preconditioners are used. In this paper, we present our efforts to devise effective preconditioners for MLFMA solutions of difficult electromagnetics problems involving both conductors and dielectrics. © 2010 IEEE.
