Abstract

The design of concrete encased electrode grounding systems by conventional computation procedures is a time-consuming task. It happens once the electromagnetic representation of the physical system requires the calculation of large full matrices. Recently, the possibility of paralleling the procedures involved in such calculations led the authors to implement a C language parallel application, based on MPI (Message Passing Interface). This article presents the engineering problem associated to this development and the fundamental aspects regarding this application, including the evaluation of its efficiency for solution of large grounding systems.
