Title: High performance 2D and 3D FDTD solvers on GPUs
Abstract: Our group has employed the use of modern graphics processor units (GPUs) for the acceleration of finite-difference based computational electromagnetics (CEM) codes. In particular, we accelerated the well-known Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method, which is commonly used for the analysis of electromagnetic phenomena. This algorithm uses difference-based approximations for Maxwell's Equations to simulate the propagation of electromagnetic fields through space and materials. The method is very general and is applicable to a wide array of problems, but runtimes are long enough that acceleration is highly desired. In this paper we present GPU-based accelerated solvers for the FDTD method in both its 2D and 3D embodiments.
