Abstract

This paper introduces a parallel FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) algorithm based on MPI (Message Passing Interface) parallel environment and NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) architecture workstation. The FDTD computation is carried out independently in local meshes in each process. The data are exchanged by communication between adjacent subdomains to achieve the FDTD parallel method. The results show the consistency between serial and parallel algorithms, and the computing efficiency is improved effectively.
