Computationally efficient modeling and simulation of large scale systems

[摘要] A method of simulating operation of a VLSI interconnect structure having capacitive and inductive coupling between nodes thereof. A matrix X and a matrix Y containing different combinations of passive circuit element values for the interconnect structure are obtained where the element values for each matrix include inductance L and inverse capacitance P. An adjacency matrix A associated with the interconnect structure is obtained. Numerical integration is used to solve first and second equations, each including as a factor the product of the inverse matrix X.sup.1 and at least one other matrix, with first equation including X.sup.1Y, X.sup.1A, and X.sup.1P, and the second equation including X.sup.1A and X.sup.1P.
