 PEC/PMC boundaries can be implemented by drawing PEC/PMC cells near the edges.
 Bloch boundary conditions are not included but wouldn't be very hard to add.

 Currently, this solver only uses a single GPU or other OpenCL accelerator;
 generalization to multiple GPUs should be pretty straightforward
