EMPIRE XPU™ – developed by engineers for engineers – is one of the leading 3D electromagnetic field simulators. It is based on the powerful Finite Difference Time Domain method (FDTD), which has become an industrial standard for RF component and antenna design. Due to EMPIRE’s unique XPU technology (Accelerated Processor Usage) it exhibits the fastest simulation engine, known today. This one-of-a-kind software utilizes a CPU based workflow, which outperforms GPU hardware acceleration in both speed and memory access. With this highly optimized kernel fullwave EM simulations have seen processing rates of over 9 GCells/sec on a dual CPU workstation.
A wide range of applications can be handled efficiently with EMPIRE XPU. Time domain, S-parameters, near and far field data are generated all in one simulation run for a broad frequency range.
