GPU and Krylov Based Parallel Model Order Reduction Algorithms for MIMO Circuit Reductions
Abstract
dc:description.abstractAnalysis of modern high-speed, high-density designs with multi physics-based formulations for signal, power and thermal integrity analysis is becoming increasingly challenging due to the need for mixed frequency and time analysis. The associated timing, memory and costs of solving large sets of circuit equations become prohibitively expensive. Simulation of such systems help designers to build, analyze and characterize circuits prior to their manufacturing. However, working with full-scale models can lead to circuits with millions of nodes incurring prohibitively excessive computational costs. To circumvent such problems, Model Order Reduction (MOR) schemes utilizing Krylov Subspace based projections such as the Passive Reduced Interconnect Modeling Algorithm (PRIMA) and Structure-Preserving Reduced-order Interconnect Macromodeling algorithm (SPRIM) have also been widely used. In this thesis, PRIMA and SPRIM algorithms are advanced to the emerging computing platforms of Graphics Processing Units (GPU) with Tensor Cores (TC), yielding significant speed-up compared to using the traditional multi-core CPUs.
