The following info is from Microwave Journal, September 2008:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new 3D solver EMPIRE XCcel 5.2 offers the Perfect Geometry Approximation (PGA) algorithm to yield more accurate results for curved structures, even with coarse meshes. The most complicated designs are modeled quickly and precisely. The unique on-the-fly code generation for each model and processor produces up to 1600 million FDTD cells per second on a conventional PC supporting the complete RAM. Thus very complex structures can be modeled very fast and very accurate.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I believe if Empire XCcel 5.2 provides PGA, which seems to be something like PBA of CST, with that speed, i.e. 1600 million FDTD cells per second, or even half of that, it’s going to make things real difficult both for CST MWS and its accelerating boards.
