MGL-FastRCS has been parallelized with OpenMP and Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) for high-performance computing with multiple cores and graphics processing units (GPUs). Characteristic examples using realistic complex air and surface targets are presented. The virtual tool automatically constructs a discrete wire-grid model of the structure under investigation. It is therefore also possible to compare the FDTD results against Method-of-Moments (MoM) data.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessScatteringdiffractionradarradar cross sectionRCSRCS predictionFinite-Difference Time-DomainFDTDvirtual tool designgraphics processing unitparallel processingArticleQ2Q15657490WOS:00034601410000513
