Leskiw, Geoffrey C. Fox, Ken Hawick, Gang Cheng This presents results from an ongoing Air Force funded effort to develop high performance computing based tools for computational electromagetics. The first phase developed proof-of-concept of the geometric theory of diffraction. The current phase hosts that on up to three different massively parallel processing machines and also develops the similar capability for method of moments and finite differences. The techniques are being demonsrated on GEMACS, an Air Force Rome Laboratory developed software system for general electromagnetic analysis of complex systems. The high performance computing software is designed to be portable and scalable and is to be benchmarked on several parallel machine archictures. The different modules for electromagetic domains and techniques, and also to be interfaced via a general interoperability and visualization framework. This is to support distributed computing applications for integrated engineering analysis and manufacturing users.
