The NEC2 electromagnetic moment method code has been successfully transferred into the personal computer environment. The Inmos T800 Transputer was used to execute the code. The analysis of a 12 element log-periodic antenna was used as a benchmark to compare execution times. Execution on the Transputer was 1.5 times faster than on a DEC microVAX computer, and comparable to the speed of a DEC VAX785 computer.
