Electromagnetic Modeling with GPUs
نویسنده
چکیده
Modeling electromagnetic (EM) fields and their interaction with a complex environment is important for developing safe and effective wireless systems. Methods for electromagnetic modeling are computationally intensive, and even small scenario can have long run times. Developments in graphics processing units (GPUs) over the past decade have created an attractive architecture for scientific computing, and many computational methods for EM apply. This paper will give an overview of GPU architecture and history, will briefly describe the field of EM modeling, will summarize past efforts to model electromagnetics using GPUs, and will conclude by considering FiniteDifference Time-Domain (FDTD) and the Parabolic Wave Equation

Semi-Analytical Modeling of Electromagnetic Performances in Magnet Segmented Spoke-Type Permanent Magnet Machine Considering Infinite and Finite Soft-Magnetic Material Permeability
In this paper, we present a semi-analytical model for determining the magnetic and electromagnetic characteristics of spoke-type permanent magnet (STPM) machine considering magnet segmentation and finite soft-material relative permeability. The proposed model is based on the resolution of the Laplace’s and Poisson’s equations in a Cartesian pseudo-coordinate system with respect to the relative ...

متن کاملAccelerating high-order WENO schemes using two heterogeneous GPUs
A double-GPU code is developed to accelerate WENO schemes. The test problem is a compressible viscous flow. The convective terms are discretized using third- to ninth-order WENO schemes and the viscous terms are discretized by the standard fourth-order central scheme. The code written in CUDA programming language is developed by modifying a single-GPU code. The OpenMP library is used for parall...
