Computationally Efficient Modeling and Simulation of Large Scale Systems
A highly efficient and accurate interconnect simulation technique greatly reduces computation time and hardware demands for complex integrated circuit design software.
Due to the increasing complexity of integrated circuits, computer-aided design software currently requires high-speed computer software.
Purdue University researchers have developed a technology that is an efficient and accurate interconnect simulation technique that provides a compact set of modeling equations which greatly reduces computation time and hardware demands. A new formula is introduced, providing methods to calculate the sparse inverse efficiently. In turn, this formulation can then be used to solve each step of the simulation very efficiently.
