FDTD GT Acceleration Element
W2408EP - Keysight Technologies
Starting with EMPro 2010, the W2405 FDTD Simulation Element includes standard GPU acceleration capability. With this capability the FDTD solver can run on an NVIDIA CUDA-based GPU that has hundreds of cores, which results in much faster simulations compared to a CPU that may only have a few cores. Note that larger FDTD problems require considerable memory, and in these cases large amounts of RAM are required on-board the GPU cards (only GPU RAM, not CPU RAM is available during GPU-accelerated FDTD simulations). The W2408 FDTD GT Acceleration Element option is still available to provide more advanced GPU acceleration features, which support designs that include dispersive materials.
