In the proposed method, the message passing interface (MPI) is used to connect each core-group (CG) and the registor level massaging passing interface (RL-MPI) is used to connect the slave core on each computing processing element (CPE) cluster, which efficiently overcomes the bottleneck caused by discrete memory accessing. Numerical results show that the performance of DGTD on SW26010 CPU can be dramatically improved by using RL-MPI.","PeriodicalId":198124,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Asia-Pacific Conference on Antennas and Propagation (APCAP)","volume":"461 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114417370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
