Abstract (EN): The interaction of light with matter in near-to-resonant conditions opens a path for the exploration of nontrivial optical response that can play an important role in future photonics-driven technology. But as the attention shifts towards many-level atomic systems and involving multi-dimensional experimental scenarios, the complexity of the physical systems makes the analytical approach to the semiclassical model of the MaxwellBloch equations impossible without any strongly-limiting approximations. In this context, robust and highperformance computational tools are mandatory. In this work, we describe the development and implementation of a cross-platform Maxwell-Bloch numerical solver that is capable to exploit the different hardware available to tackle efficiently the problems under consideration. Moreover, it is demonstrated that this simulation tool can address a vast class of problems with considerable reduction of simulation time, featuring speedups up to 30 when running in massive parallel GPUs compared with the same codes running on a CPU, showing its potential towards addressing a large class of modern problems in photonics.
