title = "An efficient parallel SAI preconditioner for multilevel fast multipole algorithm for scattering by extremely large complex targets",
abstract = "A highly efficient parallel SAI preconditioner is presented. This preconditioner is incorporated into our previously well developed parallel MLFMA code, and successfully computes scattering by a sphere with a diameter of 750 wavelengths, involving over 315 millions unknowns. The capability of this parallel SAI preconditioner is further demonstrated on computing scattering by an extremely large tank with a size of over 300-wavelengths containing around 35 millions unknowns, where convergence cannot be achieved without this SAI preconditioner.",
