Abstract: In this paper we develop a pyramid method in the context of solving time-dependent Maxwell's equations based on the finite difference time domain (FDTD) approach, which is implemented on a graphics processing unit (GPU). Application of this method allows the impact of the GPU's limited memory capacity on the computation time to be reduced, which is significant for the FDTD method.

Keywords: FDTD, Maxwell’s equations, method of pyramids, GPU, CUDA.
