Abstract:
In this thesis, we propose and discuss efficient GPU implementation using CUDA for simulating electromagnetic scattering. We use SPH as a meshless particle method to electromagnetic transient simulation in time domain. Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) has been recently reformulated by the authors, and implemented in the so-called smoothed particle electromagnetics (SPEM) method. In SPEM two set of electric and magnetic staggered particles have to be generated. These particles are the points in which the field components are computed at each time step by using the information belonging to the neighboring ones.
On the other hand, CUDA™ is a general purpose parallel computing platform and programming model that leverages the parallel compute engine in NVIDIA GPUs to solve many complex computational problems in a more efficient way than on a CPU.
We used these tools and make an efficient program that can calculate electromagnetic fields about 10 times faster than serial one.
