Abstract
The properties of finite difference time domain (FDTD) and finite element time domain (FETD) methods are described and discussed in the paper. The restrictions and advantages of the methods in sequential form are given. The numerical performance of the distributed implementations of the FDTD and FETD methods is compared. They were tested on PC heterogeneous cluster. The scalability, load balancing and speedup of the methods are discussed.
