Abstract
In this paper, we analyze the communication pattern and study the scalability of a distributed memory implementation of the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) called ScaleME. ScaleME uses the message passing interface (MPI) for communication between processors. The parallelization of MLFMA uses a novel a hybrid scheme for distributing the workload across the processors. We study the communication and computational behavior and demonstrate the effectiveness of the parallelization scheme using realistic problems.
