An enhanced FDTD method using SSE instruction set

摘要

The SSE (streaming (single instruction multiple data) SIMD extensions) instruction set was used to accelerate the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method for the significant improvement on the simulation performance. The numerical results of the SSE acceleration on the multi-CPU workstation have demonstrated that we can obtain around 4 times speedup ratio comparing to FDTD without SSE.
