title: Parallel computing in microwave heating analysis.
abstract: The use of parallel computing in the finite element analysis of microwave heating applicators is discussed. Numerical results for a multiple feed cavity at 896 MHz and a cavity with a mode stirrer at 2.45 GHz are presented, and it is shown that for the two structures parallelism is most effectively introduced at different levels in the analysis.
