Abstract: A new parallel solver for the volumetric integral equations (IE) of electrodynamics is presented. The solver is based on the Galerkin method which ensures the convergent numerical solution. The main features include: (i) the memory usage is 8 times lower, compared to analogous IE based algorithms, without additional restriction on the background media; (ii) accurate and stable method to compute matrix coefficients corresponding to the IE; (iii) high degree of parallelism. The solver's computational efficiency is shown on a problem of magnetotelluric sounding of the high conductivity contrast media. A good agreement with the results obtained with the second order finite element method is demonstrated. Due to effective approach to parallelization and distributed data storage the program exhibits perfect scalability on different hardware platforms.
