OpenMP for 3D potential boundary value problems solved by PIES

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is examination of an application of modern parallel computing technique OpenMP to speed up the calculation in the numerical solution of parametric integral equations systems (PIES). The authors noticed, that solving more complex boundary problems by PIES sometimes requires large computing time. This paper presents the use of OpenMP and fast C++ linear algebra library Armadillo for boundary value problems modelled by 3D Laplace’s equation and solved using PIES. The testing example shows that the use of mentioned technologies significantly increases speed of calculations in PIES.
