NekCEM https://svn.mcs.anl.gov/repos/NEKCEM is a high-fidelity, open-source electromagnetics solver based on spectral element and spectral element discontinuous Galerkin methods, written in Fortran and C. The code is actively developed at Mathematics and Computer Science Division of Argonne National Laboratory.
The code is written in Fortran and C, using MPI for parallel communication.
 
  
The code targets high performance high-order simulations on the advanced computer architectures for the applications in accelerator physics and nanoscience, predicting optimal designs of next-generation electromagnetic devices such as accelerator components for the International Linear Collider or the Large Hadron Collider, nanosensors for molecular detection, and photovoltaic solar cells with high energy-conversion efficiency.
