Massively parallel full-wave modeling of advanced packaging structures on BlueGene supercomputer

A parallel, distributed memory version of a full wave Method of Moments (MoM) solution combined with the Reduced Coupling approximation technique is presented on the largest parallel-server. Modeling results for product-level simulation of a single-chip module are correlated with time-domain measurements for validation of the technique. Scaling for this and other representative examples are shown for up to 16,384 compute nodes on IBM’s BlueGene supercomputer, the largest parallel-platform ever reported for MoM based solutions.
