Each of these languages provides access to computationally efficient functions allowing a user to easily run many math heavy problems with minimal programming. In this paper we will discuss the usage of MATLAB and a variety of libraries in Python capable of running these efficient computations. Tests will be run in both languages to compare both CPU and GPU computations. The runtimes of a variety of problems using each of these platforms will also be compared for a variety of mathematical operations typically used in electromagnetic problems. Finally, a simple angle of arrival calculation using conventional beamforming will be performed to show these speeds on a realistic problem.</p>}, number={11}, journal={The Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society Journal (ACES)}, author={Alec Weiss and Atef Elsherbeni}, year={2020}, month={Nov.}, pages={1394–1395} }
