High Performance Computing for C3I Computational Electromagnetics Applications

This proposed effort will accomplish advanced development, i.e., systematic application of tools and techniques, of technology for high performance computing. The first phase will provide the proof-of-concept of a new technology: High Performance Geometric Theory of Diffraction (HPGTD) for complex systems. This HPGTD technology will be developed and demonstrated using portions of an existing Rome Laboratory (RL/ERPT) conventional scattering code, GEMACS, for General Electromagnetic Model for the Analysis of Complex Systems. Phase II will complete the development of HPGTD, use it tp parallelize the rest of the GEMACS GTD software, and deliver and document the new code for production use. The resulting HPGTD software will be scalable and portable to massively parallel processors, but also regress to serial execution on a single processor for baseline validation.
