Description
Summary:CARLOS-3D is a three-dimensional general purpose computer code for calculating the scattering from complex three-dimensional bodies. The code uses the method of moments technique with Galerkin testing, to solve the StattonChu, integral equations for the specified geometry. All of the surfaces describing the scatterer are replaced by equivalent electric and magnetic currents which are then determined via the solution of a matrix equation. The parallel implementation of this code is discussed together with the parallel in-core solver developed at Sandia National Laboratories. Results for the parallel performance of the code are presented.
