A new simulator version QW-MTGOMP version (k1mtgomp.exe file) has been added to the QW-MultiSim family of multithread implementations. It combines the features of QW-MTG and QW-OMP.
QW-MTG is a two-thread version separating the actual FDTD calculations from graphics, Windows event loop, etc. The two threads are not synchronised. QW-MTG is particularly recommended to the users who need to watch dynamic field distribution, as is typically the case in microwave power applications. On the two (or more) processor computer, one processor will then take care of the display, while the other one will continue FDTD calculations at a constant speed. The FDTD speed-up factor may even reach orders of magnitude.
QW-OMP version uses OpenMP programming standard (http://www.openmp.org) to accelerate the FDTD loop. Because of high parallel efficiency and no changes in the project required in comparison to standard version, the QW-OMP has become one of the most popular QW-MultiSimversions. QW-MTGOMP combines the advantages of both approaches. QWED recommends using this version as a very convenient, easy and efficient tool for speeding up FDTD calculations.
