Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) FDTD (Finite Difference Time Domain) analysis of antennas often consumes enormous amount of time, particularly when high accuracy results are attempted. Therefore, once FDTD solvers are developed for analyzing antennas, it is extremely valuable to create further the GPGPU (General Purpose Computing on GPU) acceleration program codes corresponding to those solvers. It is well known that FDTD simulators for antenna analysis taking advantage of GPGPU techniques are already commercially available. Such a simulator, however, is of no use for a person who wants to create one’s own program. The author is currently investigating, by taking a coaxial feeding patch antenna as an example, various problems associated with GPGPU acceleration for the FDTD solvers. This report discusses the outline of the author’s own FDTD solvers and the corresponding acceleration algorithm utilizing GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) device.
