Various types of numerical analysis methods for electromagnetic problems have been established and finite element methods and integral equation methods are practically used in the design of electrical machines. On the other hand, the technology of personal computer hardware is rapidly progressing and practical electromagnetic computation can be performed by a personal computer. Recently high end machines are equipped with multi-CPU and multi-core. This means that parallel computation can be done by the personal computer without special hardware. In this paper, parallelization of the ICCG method is investigated. The ICCG method is a suitable solver for finite element methods using edge elements but parallelization of the method is difficult because of dependent data structure. Effective parallelization principles are described using some simple examples and effectiveness of the parallelized ICCG method is shown.
