GPU-based computing has gained popularity in recent years due to its growing software support and greater processing capabilities than its CPU counterpart.  GPU computing was recently added in the finite-difference time-domain program VORPAL. In this paper we carry electromagnetic simulations and optimization of a flat beam passing through a slab-symmetric dielectric-lined waveguide (DLW). We use this simulation model to explore the scaling of the GPU version of VORPAL on a new TOP1000-grade hybrid GPU/CPU computer cluster available at Northern Illinois University.
