Development of parallel computation system of FDTD/FIT dedicated computers

To aim to a portable high performance computation of electromagnetic microwave simulation for industrial applications, authors has been working in development of the FDTD/FIT dedicated computer. The FDTD/FIT dedicated computer was implemented on a printed circuit board with a FPGA and it was shown that the FDTD/FIT dedicated computer can execute microwave simulation with 2.5 times faster speed than that of PC with 3 GHz CPU although the clock frequency of the FPGA was only 51 MHz. In this paper, parallel computation architecture by interlocking operation of the dedicated computers.
