Desktop Engineering magazine recently announced that Remcom Inc.'s (State College, PA) new generation of its XStream GPU acceleration technology for its XFdtd 3D electromagnetic simulation tool has been chosen as the Editor's Pick of the Week for August 19, 2009.

"Applications like 3D electromagnetic simulation are difficult to process even on modern 64-bit workstations," says Anthony J. Lockwood, editor at large for Desktop Engineering. "XStream's power comes from its ability to leverage NVIDIA CUDA architecture. In effect, this turns your workstation into a massively parallel computer."

"The real benefit from your point of view is speed – lots more speed than you ever had from the same workstation doing the same sort of EM simulations that you always do," says Lockwood. "Remcom says that the speed increase can be up to twice as fast as you've experienced before. XStream GPU acceleration technology for its XFdtd 3D electromagnetic simulation tool can reduce solution times from hours to minutes."
