Abstract

In this paper, we have shown that exploitation of the GPU´s massively parallel architecture can dramatically increase the speed of MoM calculations. While the code can certainly be improved, matrix fill speed-up factors are already commonly found to be between 150X-260X. The conjugate gradient solver stands to be improved at this writing but still results in performance increases of 1.25X-20X. Continued development of MoM codes with GPU acceleration will undoubtedly bring about a new era of computational electromagnetics.
