Remcom's Message Passing Interface (MPI) Technology

MPI, or Message Passing Interface technology, is essential for achieving faster calculations using multiple computers; this leads to greater productivity and a quicker time to market--giving design and EM professionals the competitive edge so vital in today's challenging economy and highly competitive industries.

One of the most critical issues facing those working on EM simulation design is time. That's why Remcom is so relentless when it comes to utilizing MPI and increasing the computation speed of our products.

XFdtd and High Performance Computing: Take Advantage of Computer Clusters
By employing a cluster of several computer nodes, you can achieve greater memory efficiencies when running XFdtd calculations. 

  • MPI enables parallel computations across distributed systems.
  • By dividing XFdtd calculations among multiple computer nodes, larger problems can be run and faster speeds can be achieved.
  • Even clusters of inexpensive 32-bit machines can handle problems requiring extremely large quantities of RAM.
