DiPaCS: a new concept for parallel circuit simulation

The DiPaCS system, a distributed parallel circuit simulator implementable on multicomputer systems is introduced. Since high complexity and increasing problems in simulating integrated circuits imply an enormous computational expenditure we have tried to reduce the amount of simulation time by parallel processing. A parallel iterative method is presented which is embedded in the concept of a hierarchical circuit simulator where the problem inherent parallelism is used for speeding up purposes.<<ETX>>
