Reports the parallelization on a shared-memory vector multiprocessor of the computationally intensive components of a circuit simulator-matrix assembly (including device model evaluation) and the unstructured sparse linear system solution. A theoretical model is used to predict the performance of the lock-synchronized parallel matrix assembly, and the results are compared to experimental measurements. Alternate approaches to efficient sparse matrix solution are contrasted, highlighting the impact of the matrix representation/access strategy on achievable performance, and medium-grained approach with superior performance is introduced. The techniques developed have been incorporated into a prototype parallel implementation of the production circuit simulator ADVICE on the Alliant FX/8 multiprocessor.
