June 2021. Authors K. Sabet and I.A. Stefan from EMAG Technologies Inc. and F. Dagefu and B.M. Sadler the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) presented a highly parallelized hybrid FDTD solver for simulating electromagnetic wave propagation in dense urban environments in the 2021 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Symposium (APS).
Abstract. In this paper, we describe a hybrid parallel FDTD solver for simulation of large-scale urban propagation scenarios that utilizes both shared and distributed memory capabilities of modern processors. Simulation results are presented for an accurate real-world physical urban model (Downtown Los Angeles) at HF band (40 MHz).
