Massively parallel two-dimensional TLM algorithm on graphics processing units

Recent advances in computing technology has brought massively parallel computing power to desktop PCs. As multi-core processor technology becomes mature, a new front in parallel technology based on graphics processors has emerged. A massively parallel 2D-TLM algorithm for NVIDIA advanced graphics processors has been developed. The proposed parallel computing paradigm can be adopted straightforwardly to accelerate time-domain electromagnetic field modeling programs.
