Discussions of the struggles of electromagnetics development, profiling, and the benefits of the GPU architecture

The electromagnetics model I have been working on was implemented using the assumption that an array of ray paths would be loaded onto the GPU, the processing would be done, and an array of the same length would be retrieved and summed according to arrival node by the CPU. This was reliable using my coding skills at the time, but the sorting function was a significant time delay to the model.

Modelling Microwave Power Transfer

A critical part of the development of LyceanEM in support of the development of Space-based Solar Power is the development of a robust and accurate model for microwave propagation. The critical issue for space-based solar power is an accurate prediction of the losses from propagation through the different layers of the atmosphere for extremely large scale microwave beams, over 1km in radius. This level of electromagnetics modelling is beyond the capability of current commercial software, and requires the development of new open-source tools to support the development of the technology.
