Abstract
In this paper, we discuss some of the new developments in parallel processing techniques in the context of computational electromagnetics. We present the results of a performance study of the parallel FDTD algorithm running on various hardware platforms, such as a high performance cluster, a PC cluster, multi-core processor, GPU, and IBM CELL processor, for both Windows and Linux operating systems. The results show that the FDTD method is extremely well suited for parallel platforms.
