Abstract :
Mobile computing devices are ubiquitous and can now carry out computationally-intensive tasks in a timely fashion. This paper presents multi-platform, computational electromagnetics educational software for modern mobile platforms. Performance of the Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) solver has been increased using a Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) processing strategy applicable to the majority of available platforms. Included is discussion of the SIMD strategy, performance benchmarking results and user uptake statistics.
