Abstract

In this paper, the GPU implementation of the method of moments (MoM) for solving electromagnetic scattering and radiation problems is presented. A single-CPU sequential MoM algorithm for analysis of arbitrary conducting 3D body-wire structures is ported using CUDA to heterogeneous CPU/GPU platform. Computational efficiency and measured speedups over a reference single-thread CPU implementation for hardware platforms with different CUDA architectures are demonstrated.
