Fall 1997
IMA "Hot Topics" Workshop:
Algorithmic Methods for Semiconductor Circuitry
November 24-25, 1997
Organizer:
Jacob White, MIT
Participants
The aim of the workshop was to bring together researchers
who work on algorithmic methods together with researchers in
semiconductor circuitry in order to address the difficult computational
issues that arise in circuitry. The activities included informal
presentations and discussions.
Topics:
- Linear and nonlinear model-order reduction (including eigenvalue-calculation
based approach).
- Methods for quasiperiodic analysis (including nonlinear
phenomena in oscillating circuits: stability and bifurcation).
- Fast PDE solvers plus MOR
- Partitioning methods covering areas such as waveform relaxation,
domain decomposition (parallel circuit simulation) and mixed
level simulation.
