Description
Maxwell equations are fundamental laws of physics for understanding electromagnetic fields. Their usage is essential in applications related to propagation of electromagnetic waves. To provide a numerical implementation of these equations, a Finite-Difference Time-Domain method can be used. It is crucial to optimize such complex calculations in order to provide convenient, time-saving tools. For this reason, two solutions to an example FDTD problem are devised which comprise of CUDA library for parallel computing on the GPU, and Julia as a programming language designed with the aim of handling such tasks. In addition to these, a similar CPU implementation is provided for comparison purposes.
