Abstract

In this paper, a CUDA-enabled GPU accelerated implementation of Method of Moments (MoM) for solving scattering and radiation electromagnetic problems is presented. The solution is based on the frequency-domain Electric Field Integral Equation (EFIE) formulation for arbitrary configuration of conducting bodies and wires. The CUDA environment is employed to port a single-CPU sequential code to the parallel GPU platform. Numerical results and measured speedups over CPU implementation are given for a testing structure.
