EMPIRE XCcel- Fast 64 bit EM Simulation Exploiting Modern Multicore CPU Technology
By Winfried SIMON, IMST
December 9, Wednesday
Room 203, 13:00 – 13:30

Abstract: The EMPIRE XCcel 3D EM field solver will be presented. Further FDTD kernel acceleration is obtained by an optimized CPU multi-core management. The unique on-the-fly code generation for each model and processor produces up to 2000 million FDTD cells per second in real applications with full memory access up to 256 GB. A new Perfect Geometry Approximation (PGA) algorithm yields more accurate results even for coarse meshes.  Several application examples covering different antenna and circuit designs will be presented.

Advanced Computational Tools for Antenna Design and Placement
By C.J. REDDY, M. BOTHA and E. BURGER, EM Software & Systems
December 9, Wednesday
Room 208, 13:00 – 13:30

Abstract: Recent advances in computational electromagnetic tools made antenna design possible along with integration of antennas on various ground, sea and air platforms. Full wave techniques such as Method of Moments (MoM), Multilevel Fast Multipole Method (MLFMM) along with asymptotic techniques such as Physical Optics (PO) and Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD) will be reviewed.  Application of these and hybrid numerical techniques for antenna designs, antenna-platform interaction studies, EMI/EMC, bio-electromagentics and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system design. For many practical applications, sometimes it is necessary to study the electromagnetic behavior on a specific structure over a broad frequency band, and therefore it is important to have some benchmark data on computational resources needed for some commonly used numerical techniques. During this talk, various antenna design applications will be examined. Also a full-size air, ground and sea platforms are considered and the frequency limit is pushed at different bands using several numerical techniques. A benchmark study of computational resources required by available computational tools for electrically large platforms will be presented.
