The design and verification of MuMax3
Tóm tắt
We report on the design, verification and performance of MuMax3, an open-source GPU-accelerated micromagnetic simulation program. This software solves the time- and space dependent magnetization evolution in nano- to micro scale magnets using a finite-difference discretization. Its high performance and low memory requirements allow for large-scale simulations to be performed in limited time and on inexpensive hardware. We verified each part of the software by comparing results to analytical values where available and to micromagnetic standard problems. MuMax3 also offers specific extensions like MFM image generation, moving simulation window, edge charge removal and material grains.
