Delay Extraction Based Macromodeling With Parallel Processing For Efficient Simulation Of High Speed Distributed Networks, Sourajeet Roy

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

This thesis attempts to address the computational demands of accurate modeling of high speed distributed networks such as interconnect networks and power distribution networks. In order to do so, two different approaches towards modeling of high speed distributed networks are considered. One approach deals with cases where the physical characteristics of the network are not known and the network is characterized by its frequency domain tabulated data. Such examples include long interconnect networks described by their Y parameter data. For this class of problems, a novel delay extraction based IFFT algorithm has been developed for accurate transient response simulation.
