Electromagnetic computations, where the wavelength is small in relation to\nthe geometry of interest, become computationally demanding. In order to manage\ncomputations for realistic problems like electromagnetic scattering from\naircraft, the use of parallel computing is essential. In this paper, we\ndescribe how a solver based on a hierarchical nested equivalent source\napproximation can be implemented in parallel using a task based programming\nmodel. We show that the effort for moving from the serial implementation to a\nparallel implementation is modest due to the task based programming paradigm,\nand that the performance achieved on a multicore system is excellent provided\nthat the task size, depending on the method parameters, is large enough.\n
