Electromagnetic Field Analysis by using Parallel Processing Based on OpenMP

Abstract

Recently, numerical analysis of electromagnetic field can be performed on high performance PCs. However, improvement of CPU operation frequency is becoming saturate. In order to speed up the calculation, multi-core CPU system is paid attention and it has been used in high performance PC. In this paper, a parallelization using multi-threads on SMP (symmetric multiple processor) for a finite element analysis using hexahedral edge element is investigated
