Thispaper describes an efficient message passing interface (MPI)-parallel implementation of the LOD-FDTD method for Debye-dispersive media. Its computational efficiency is demonstrated to be superior to that of the parallel ADI-FDTD method. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed parallel algorithm in the simulation of a bio-electromagnetic problem: the deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the human body.}, organization = {The work described in this paper and the research leading to these results has received funding from the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2013, under grant agreement no 205294 (HIRF SE project), and from the Spanish National Projects TEC2010-20841-C04-04, CSD2008-00068, and the Junta de Andalucia Project P09-TIC-5327.}, keywords = {Distributed memory systems}, keywords = {Electromagnetic fields}, keywords = {Electromagnetic propagation in dispersive media}, keywords = {Finite-difference methods}, keywords = {Numerical analysis}, keywords = {Parallel programming}, keywords = {Time-domain analysis}, title = {Efficient parallel LOD-FDTD method for Debye-dispersive media}, doi = {TAP.2013.2294860}, author = {Hemmi, Tadashi and Costen, Fumie and González García, Salvador and Mehshan, Mustafa and Himeno, Ryutaro and Yokota, Hideo}, }
