prop

FDTD solver of Maxwell's equations with the use of different backends including GPU. While computational part is written in c++ you are encouraged to use python wrapper to execute calculations and handle data.

Build

prop uses cmake for compilation and relies on CPM to fetch external packages. Example command to build prop with openmp support, to compile with CUDA support, use prop-cuda-debug preset.

cmake --preset prop-openmp-debug
cmake --build build --target pyprop

IMPORTANT: please specify target when building prop otherwise compilation time will be extremely large. Include target prop_test if you want to run unit tests.

You can see all available presets via cmake --list-presets command.

Usage and Examples

You can find examples in examples folder. prop provides cmake target copy_python_files_in_binary_dir to run examples without installation of python package system wide.

cd build
cmake --build . --target copy_python_files_in_binary_dir
python ./simple.py
