In the electromagnetism,FDTD which has been widely used in the field of dielectric device＇s designing can simulate the changes of electromagnetic field in space accurately. With abundant computing resources, many-core pro- cessor can get good adaptability for compute-intensive task. Based on the analysis of Maxwell＇s equations and the FDTD simulation algorithm, we achieved the parallel algorithm about FDTD. According to the experiment＇s results, FDTD algorithm has high computational efficiency on the platform of many-core processor, and can make full use of the structure characteristic of many-core processor.
