Hard Problems

We expect that the hard problems in the benchmark can only be solved by the most advanced computational BioEM methods on high-performance computers. We expect only a few computational methods/tools will be able to solve these problems with acceptable accuracy and computational costs.

3. AustinWoman v2.3

Problem 3 requires the solution of scattering from a homogeneous and highly heterogeneous voxel versions of the AustinWoman v2.3 model. These pixel-based models [8] were chosen because of their high fidelity and because of their availability. The models are standing in the z-direction and facing (approximately) in the +x-direction.

3a. Homogeneous AustinWoman v2.3

Solve the scattering problem and find these quantities of interest when all voxels of the AustinWoman v2.3 are filled homogeneously with the (frequency-dependent) equivalent material from [7] and is illuminated by these impressed sources.

3b. Inhomogeneous AustinWoman v2.3

Solve the scattering problem and find these quantities of interest when the inhomogeneous AustinWoman v2.3 model is illuminated by these impressed sources. Use the four different resolution (8×8×8 mm³, 4×4×4 mm³, 2×2×2 mm³, and 1×1×1 mm³) voxel models available in [8].

4. AustinMan v2.3

Problem 4 requires the solution of scattering from a homogeneous and highly heterogeneous voxel versions of the AustinMan v2.3 model. These pixel-based models [8] were chosen because of their high fidelity and because of their availability. The models are standing in the z-direction and facing (approximately) in the +x-direction.

Solve the scattering problem and find these quantities of interest when all voxels of the AustinMan v2.3 are filled homogeneously with the (frequency-dependent) equivalent material from [7] and is illuminated by these impressed sources.

4b. Inhomogeneous AustinMan v2.3

Solve the scattering problem and find these quantities of interest when the inhomogeneous AustinMan v2.3 model is illuminated by these impressed sources. Use the four different resolution (8×8×8 mm³, 4×4×4 mm³, 2×2×2 mm³, and 1×1×1 mm³) voxel models available in [8].
