Summary :

A comparison is made for the performance of the relaxation-based circuits simulation algorithms: the iterated timing analysis, the waveform relaxation and the waveform relaxation-Newton, along with the investigation of the following aspects of the convergence properties of these algorithms: (1) variations in their convergence rate with an employed relaxation method, (2) the difference between the speed of convergence of the waveform relaxation and that of the waveform relaxation-Newton, (3) influence of the presence of feedback loops on their convergence rates. In addition the following techniques are surveyed that improve the speed of these algorithms: (1) circuit partitioning, (2) a windowing approach, (3) latency exploitation, (4) iterative stepsize refinement, (5) parallel processing approach.
