摘要
In this paper, the practical behavior of circuit simulator users are considered and utilized to speed up the circuit simulation. The used methods are incremental simulation and simulation-on-demand (SOD, just simulate the portion of circuit contributing to user-wanted outputs). A specialized relaxation-based algorithm, Backward-traversing Waveform Relaxation (BTWR), is adopted as the fundamental simulation algorithm. All proposed methods have been implemented and tested. Experimental results justify the values of proposed methods. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier B.V. Selection and/or peer review under responsibility of ICMPBE International Committee.
