Abstract
This paper presents how EMPIRE XCcel uses its XPU technology to efficiently simulate RF Mems switches and large antennas including environment. The XPU calculation technique (software accelerated computing on modern CPUs) speeds up FDTD simulations using modern consumer PC and workstations [2]. This XPU technique outperforms the simulation size and simulation speed for FDTD EM simulations on GPU cards.
