Enhancing Speedups for FPGA Accelerated SPICE through Frequency Scaling and Precision Reduction

Frequency scaling and precision reduction optimization of an FPGA accelerated SPICE circuit simulator can enhance performance by 1.5x while lowering implementation cost by 15 -- 20%. This is possible due the inherent fault tolerant capabilities of SPICE that can naturally drive simulator convergence...
