Hipercone HiFDTD solver and Electromagnetic Template Library (EMTL)

Introduction

Hipercone HiFDTD is build on the base of the free open-source Electromagnetic Template Library (EMTL). Hipercone maintains the EMTL project and its documentation and support. Being superior in the numerical performance, HiFDTD is fully compatible with EMTL in interface and output, except for a few functions allowing to tune the high performance features of the code.
