Abstract:
1. A method of electronic design automation implemented by a processor of a computer, the method comprising: (a) the processor determining for each of a plurality of layers of an analytical or computer model of a device residing in a memory accessible by the processor a discretized mesh of current conducting material of said layer; (b) the processor storing the discretized meshes determined in step (a) in said memory; (c) the processor determining for each discretized mesh stored in step (b) a corresponding or related impedance matrix having cells, wherein each cell of each impedance matrix includes an impedance value Z (d) the processor dispatching to each of a plurality of node computers on an electronic communications network a unique subset of the cells of the impedance matrices including the impedance values determined in step (c); and (e) responsive to the dispatching in step (d) to each node computer, the processor either:
