Hardware advances are enabling simulations of Maxwell’s equations at unprecedented speed and scale.
Graphics processing units (GPUs) designed for high-performance computing (HPC) have recently seen dramatic performance improvements driven by the needs of artificial intelligence. The same hardware advances, it turns out, can also serve to significantly speed up numerical simulations of physical phenomena.
