Abstract

We discuss the parallelization of a Velocity-Stress FDTD (VS-FDTD) code for the simulation of the propagation of mechanical waves in three-dimensional microstructures. The C++ code has been parallelized using MPI making extensive use of the Blitz++ library for local computation. We present numerical results for pyramid shaped domains, representing the tip of a focusing lens. We discuss the parallel implementation on a cluster consisting of Opteron 250 nodes connected by a high-speed Quadrics QsNet II network.
