An efficient parallel implementation of the Fast Multipole Method (FMM) combined with the fast Fourier transform (FFT) is presented in this paper. The good scaling properties of the FMM-FFT, combined with a smart parallelization strategy, has been shown to be very effective when using large parallel supercomputers. A challenging problem with more than 150 million unknowns has been solved, demonstrating that the proposed implementation of the FMM-FFT constitutes a real alternative to the more frequently used multilevel approaches, such as the Multilevel FMM (MLFMA). Even more importantly, we have achieved a high efficiency with 1,024 parallel processors, which indeed constitutes one of the better scalability results ever reached for a rigorous integral-equation electromagnetic solver.
