A VECTORIZED MULTIPLE PLATE SCATTERING CODE

Abstract

A computer code named Vectorized Multiple Plate Scattering (VMPS) code has been developed at the Ohio State University ElectroScience Laboratory to compute the scattered fields from structures that can be modelled using perfectly conducting flat plates. The VMPS code uses a moment method approach to solve an electric field integral equation for the scattered fields. The code utilizes the vectorization capability of CRAY supercomputers to compute the scattered fields very efficiently. In this paper, the operation of the VMPS code is described and its vectorization efficiency is demonstrated. [Vol. 9, No. 2 (1994), pp 135-141]
