Parallelizing Sparse Matrix Solve for SPICE Circuit Simulation using FPGAs

Fine-grained dataflow processing of sparse matrix-solve computation (Ax = b) in the SPICE circuit simulator can provide an order of magnitude performance improvement on modern FPGAs. Matrix solve is the dominant component of the simulator especially for large circuits and is invoked repeatedly durin...
