Abstract
Using interpreted languages such as MATLAB to prototype electromagnetic modeling codes often provides efficiency at the cost of performance. To sidestep this tradeoff, we demonstrate how a frequency domain method of moments routine written in MATLAB for microstrip patch antennas can be automatically accelerated on GPU hardware. The interpreted MATLAB code performance is compared with the accelerated code, and the relative complexity of the automatic translation of the toolkit is contrasted. Acceleration of the matrix filling routine was observed to be around 99 times the interpreted MATLAB code in the results described.
