Abstract

This article presents a vector algorithm of the solution of the Helmholtz equation by beam propagation method (BPM), based on representation of calculations in the single instruction, multiple data model. Use of this algorithm on the graphic NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660Ti processor on the compute unified device architecture technology results in 30-times acceleration of calculations in comparison with calculations on the Intel Core2 Duo CPU E8500.
