	Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Nuclear Physics, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. In addition to previous developments on parallel beam dynamics software packages, our efforts have been extended to electromagnetic simulations. These efforts include developing new software packages solving the Maxwell equations in 2D and 3D. Scalable algorithms have been used for use of ALCF supercomputers. These new solvers are based on high order numerical methods. Comparative studies of structured and unstructured grids, continuous and discontinuous Galerkin methods will be discussed. The effects of bases will also be presented. Efficiency and challenges of new software packages will be presented. Some benchmarking and simulation results will be shown.
