A parallel low-rank multilevel matrix compression algorithm for parasitic extraction of electrically large structures

Published: 24 July 2006 Publication History

Abstract

Simulation of distributed electromagnetic effects of electrically large structures is no longer a luxury but a necessity in the accurate prediction of modern day circuit performance. In this regard, integral equation based methods have steadily gained in popularity but suffer from the time and memory bottlenecks arising from the resultant dense matrix. Fast linear complexity solvers have been introduced in the past but with the growing complexity of circuit layouts parallel implementations are the only viable options in addressing practical circuit layouts. In this paper, we present a parallel implementation of the low-rank compression based fast solver with linear cost reduction capacity with respect to the number of processors. The main problems in parallelizing a hierarchical algorithm are discussed and the advantages of the implemented scheme are highlighted. The new solver enables the simulation of full-chip problems consisting of millions of unknowns with acceptable accuracy and modest time and memory requirements.
