GEMS 7.0 fully uses the Vector Arithmetic Logic Unit (VALU) in regular CPU to accelerate the EM simulation. Without purchasing any extra hardware devices, GEMS on a single computer with two CPUs (US$256 each) or two regular computers can be as fast as a FDTD GPU code on Tesla C1060 (US$1896 each) for the ideal cases. However, GEMS 7.0 using the VALU on one computer will be much faster than the GPU for the practical problems.
