Parallel Computations for Boundary Element Analysis of Magnetostatic Fields
정자계의 경계요소 해석을 위한 병렬계산
Abstract
A boundary element analysis using parallel algorithm on transputers is described for three-dimensional magnetostatic field computations. The parallel algorithm are applied to assembling the system matrix and solving the matrix equation. Through the numerical results, it is shown that the computation time is ideally inverse proportional to the number of transputers, and the computational efficiency increases as the size of the system matrix becomes large. The easiness and simplicity in configuring the system hardware and making programs and computation times are compared in three kinds of topologies.
