By employing a hierarchical partitioning strategy, MLFMA can be parallelized efficiently on distributed-memory architectures. This way, it becomes possible to solve very large problems discretized with hundreds of millions of unknowns. Effectiveness of the developed simulation environment is demonstrated on various scattering problems involving canonical and complicated objects. © 2009 IEEE.EnglishDistributed memoryHierarchical partitioningLarge-scale scatteringMultilevel fast multipole algorithmsParallel implementationsRigorous solutionScattering problemsSimulation environmentParallel algorithmsScatteringConference Paper10.1109/ICEAA.2009.5297788
