The boundary integral method is used to solve problems of scattering by perfect electric conducting or perfect dielectric bodies. Because this method requires large memory storage, it is implemented on a distributed memory parallel computer. The assembling is performed by nodal contribution, and the BiCGStab(m) algorithm is used for solving. Performances are analyzed using several large problems.
