FLEXCOMPUTE RF
ADVANTAGES

Flexcompute RF brings GPU-native electromagnetic simulation for radio frequency design into a unified photonics and electronics workflow. Large-scale, high-frequency EM simulation runs on a single geometry and material stack across RF and PIC domains, removing translation errors and tool handoffs. Integrated optical and electrical workflows support side-by-side evaluation of RF and photonic performance, while GPU acceleration makes fast iteration and broad design exploration practical during active design.
Flexcompute RF Platform
Simulation Speed
100x Faster
Simulation Speed
Flexcompute RF leverages GPU-accelerated solvers to deliver full-wave 3D electromagnetic results in minutes instead of hours or days. This accelerates the path from concept to validated design, keeping RF simulation aligned with rapid product development cycles.
Design Exploration
10x More
Design Exploration
Flexcompute RF enables teams to explore broader design spaces by making full-wave simulation fast enough to run across hundreds of parameter variations. This sustains design momentum across multi-band and multi-element programs, supporting more aggressive exploration before design freeze.
Model Scale
10x Larger
Model Scale
Flexcompute RF enables full-wave simulation of much larger electromagnetic models by scaling natively across GPUs. Larger domains, higher mesh resolution, and more complex multi-component structures can be solved within practical runtimes, allowing engineers to analyze full-system RF behavior without relying on aggressive model simplifications.

ALTERNATIVES AND COMPARISON

RF simulation remains a critical bottleneck in modern electronics design, with traditional tools requiring hours or days for full-wave analysis of complex structures. While a range of commercial solvers exist, most rely on CPU-based architectures that limit throughput and design exploration. Flexcompute RF brings GPU-accelerated full-wave simulation to the RF workflow, dramatically reducing turnaround time and enabling broader design exploration within existing development schedules.
