Abstract
This paper presents empirical results of the finite difference time domain algorithm implemented on NVIDIA´s CUDA architecture in order to achieve significant decreases in electromagnetic field simulation time. The proposed strategy is demonstrated with respect to biomedical applications where 10 different anatomical realistic body phantoms are simulated and speed increases quantified.
