NekCEM is a high-fidelity high-order spectral-element discontinuous Galerkin (SEDG) Maxwell solver that targets 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, many of which have not been solved because of the limitations of current computational resources and the unavailability of a high-fidelity code to run on these advanced resources.NekCEM is open source and available at https://svn.mcs.anl.gov/repos/NEKCEM for easy access to the current version. The package has a number of examples for testing the convergence and performance of the code for different problem configurations in electromagnetics. Current capabilities include 2D/3D simulations for surface plasmonics and light transmission calculations, wakefield and wakepotential calculations, waveguides, and electric potential calculations. NekCEM is written in Fortran and C, and MPI for parallel communication. The code uses the core infrastructure of the incompressible Navier-Stokes solver Nek5000 [1].
