Abstract :
A GPU accelerated Method of Moments (MoM), which is run on a distributed memory CPU/GPU hybrid workstation, is presented to solve the problems of antenna array simulation. The stream technique is used to overlap the computation and data movement, and an out-of-core technique is used to break the limitation of the GPU memory. Furthermore, some microstrip antenna arrays are simulated to validate accuracy, and a good speedup is obtained.
