Grid Computing for Electromagnetics

Today, more and more practitioners, researchers, and students are utilizing the power and efficiency of grid computing for their increasingly complex electromagnetics applications. This cutting-edge book offers you the practical and comprehensive guidance you need to use this new approach to supercomputing for your challenging projects. Supported with over 110 illustrations, the book clearly describes a high-performance, low-cost method to solving huge numerical electromagnetics problems.

In this book/CD-ROM package for practitioners, researchers, and students, Tarricone (electromagnetic fields, University of Lecce, Italy) and Esposito, a consultant with a degree in electronic engineering, offer practical guidance in the use of grid computing, an emerging branch of information technology for researchers involved in electromagnetics. They explain how to build a computational grid, how to run applications on it, and how to use grid computing to identify new perspectives for research. The CD-ROM contains software needed to build a grid and sample code for several application areas. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
