Software Accelerators Speed EM Simulations

Article Tools

Electromagnetic (EM) software simulators are powerful tools in predicting the performance of RF and microwave circuits, but they tend to devour processing power and take time to run. Fortunately, users of Microwave StudioŽ software from Computer Simulation Technology (CST) can gain as much as 40 percent in processing speed with the help of an accelerator program from AccelewareŽ Corp. The accelerator, based on compute unified device architecture (CUDA) technology, uses NVIDIA's CUDA programming language developed by NVIDIA to solve complex problems to benefit in processing speed when using multicore, parallel-processing computer systems. Ryan Schneider, the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) of Acceleware, explains "CST MWS users already benefiting from our acceleration solutions will experience significant performance improvements with a simple software update."
