Fast and accurate time-domain simulations with commodity graphics hardware

We show the efficacy of graphics hardware for the computational electrodynamics community. In particular, we illustrate how this hardware can be used to accelerate a general purpose finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation through a set of image processing operations. While achieving a significant speedup, our simulation yields comparable accuracy to that of a consonant software implementation.
