The electrical circuit simulation of large integrated circuits is very expensive. New relaxation-based algorithms promise to reduce this cost by exploiting the properties of large networks. However, this speed improvement is not sufficient for the cost-effective analysis of very large circuits. While array processors have helped inprove the performance of circuit simulators, further improvement can be achieved by the use of special-purpose multiprocessors. In this paper, the implementation of a relaxation-based circuit simulation algorithm, called Iterated Timing Analaysis, on a multi-processor is described. Initial results indicate that this approach has a great deal of potential for reducing the cost of circuit simulation.
