Abstract :
Graphics processing units (GPUs) for years have been dedicated mostly to real time rendering. Recently leading GPU manufactures have extended their research area and decided to support also graphics computing. In this paper, we describe an impact of new GPU features on development process of an efficient finite difference time domain (FDTD) implementation.
