Acceleration Options for XFdtd

Improve EM simulation performance using the most modern high-performance computing technologies available

Remcom is dedicated to increasing the productivity and creative options of design engineers and EM professionals through cutting-edge electromagnetic simulation software. In addition to many other innovations designed to speed our customers' development time in getting their products to market, we were the first company to take advantage of dual core machines to speed up calculations by running in parallel, and we were also the first to parallelize our calculations for clusters (MPI).

Today, we offer three options for improving EM simulation performance in XFdtd:

Xstream GPU Acceleration Technology

Xstream tremendously improves EM simulation performance by leveraging the powerful graphics processing units (GPUs) available in modern video cards to make ultra-fast numerical computations. Remcom is among the first EM simulation software providers to offer this capability free as a standard feature in XF7. Click here for more...

Multiprocessor Technology

Most modern computers now contain multiple processor cores and the ability to parallelize execution of multiple program threads to run at the same time. XFdtd takes advantage of this technology to greatly speed calculations across up to eight cores on the same computer. This is a standard included capability of the product. Click here for more...

Message Passing Interface (MPI) Technology

Take advantage of multiple computers in a "cluster" by distributing XFdtd calculations among them. Remcom offers a special licensing option for MPI capability for those who have the ability to set up a computer cluster. Click here for more...
