We investigate error sources and their effects on the accuracy of solutions of extremely large electromagnetics problems with parallel implementations of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). Accuracy parameters and their effects on the accuracy of MLFMA solutions are studied for large-scale problems discretized with hundreds of millions of unknowns. We show that some error sources are more dominant and should be suppressed for more accurate solutions; identifying less-effective error sources may allow us to derive more efficient implementations. Based on our analysis, we determine a set of benchmark problems that can be used to compare the accuracy of solvers for large-scale computations. A benchmarking tool is provided at www.cem.bilkent.edu.tr/benchmark.

Rigorous Solutions of Large-Scale Scattering Problems Discretized with Hundreds of Millions of Unknowns
Guerel, L.; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2009-09-18)
We present fast and accurate solutions of large-scale scattering problems using a parallel implementation of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA). By employing a hierarchical partitioning strategy, MLFMA can be parallelized efficiently on distributed-memory architectures. This way, it becomes possible to solve very large problems discretized with hundreds of millions of unknowns. Effectiveness of the developed simulation environment is demonstrated on various scattering problems involving canonic...
PARALLEL MULTILEVEL FAST MULTIPOLE ALGORITHM FOR COMPLEX PLASMONIC METAMATERIAL STRUCTURES
Ergül, Özgür Salih (2013-11-09)
A parallel implementation of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is developed for fast and accurate solutions of electromagnetics problems involving complex plasmonic metamaterial structures. Composite objects that consist of multiple penetrable regions, such as dielectric, lossy, and plasmonic parts, are formulated rigorously with surface integral equations and solved iteratively via MLFMA. Using the hierarchical strategy for the parallelization, the developed implementation is capable of simul...
Numerical methods for multiphysics flow problems
Belenli Akbaş, Mine; Kaya Merdan, Songül; Rebholz, Leo G.; Department of Mathematics (2016)
In this dissertation, efficient and reliable numerical algorithms for approximating solutions of multiphysics flow problems are investigated by using numerical methods. The interaction of multiple physical processes makes the systems complex, and two fundamental difficulties arise when attempting to obtain numerical solutions of these problems: the need for algorithms that reduce the problems into smaller pieces in a stable and accurate way and for large (sometimes intractable) amount of computational resou...
Nested Iterative Solutions of Electromagnetic Problems Using Approximate Forms of the Multilevel Fast Multipole Algorithm
Onol, Can; Ucuncu, Arif; Karaosmanoglu, Bariscan; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2017-03-24)
Nested iterative solutions using full and approximate forms of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) are presented for efficient analysis of electromagnetic problems. The developed mechanism is based on preconditioning an iterative solution via another iterative solution, and this way, nesting multiple solutions as layers. The accuracy is systematically reduced from top to bottom by using the on-the-fly characteristics of MLFMA, as well as the iterative residual errors. As a demonstration, a three...
Efficient parallelization of multilevel fast multipole algorithm
Ergül, Özgür Salih (null; 2006-11-10)
We report our efforts for the solution of large electromagnetics problems accurately and efficiently with the parallel multilevel fast multipole algorithm. We carefully investigate different stages of the parallelization and identify the bottlenecks to develop new strategies. The required modifications are implemented in order to increase the efficiency of the solutions of scattering problems involving various geometries.
