Introduction to CEMPACK: A Benchmarking System for Computational Electromagnetic Solvers

This paper introduces a computational electromagnetic (CEM)-solver benchmarking suite, called CEMPACK. CEMPACK consists of several synthetic benchmark problems that can be used to characterize CEM-solver implementations. The problems are synthetic in that they do not necessarily correspond to physically useful problems or scenarios. Rather, they attempt to stress various aspects of a solver implementation, including maximum problem size, absorbing boundary conditions, and various source types
