Summary:
We present a parallel multilevel fast multipole algorithm aimed at low cost GRID computer environments connected by a fast switch. The algorithm is a scheduling algorithm where work packets are handled in certain order to ensure minimal idle time of the processors and to avoid simultaneous bursts of communication between the processors. The algorithm is implemented on a method of moment discretisation of a twodimensional TM electromagnetic scattering problem. Performance results are shown for lens objects 1000 wavelengths in size.
