Research Abstract

In this research, a fast transient simulation algorithm based on leapfrog-scheme for the circuit including interconnects (such as signal, power and ground) and nonlinear elements (such as transistor) was studied. Especially, a modeling method suitable for the leapfrog scheme was developed for the power and ground interconnects. Finally, an ultrafast scalable circuit simulation technique was developed by the use of GPU.
