This paper considers the repeated-executing characteristics of circuit simulators in practical situations, and raises according methods. These methods are incremental simulation and simulation-on-demand (SOD, just simulate the portion of circuit contributing to user-wanted outputs). A specialized relaxation-based algorithm, Backward-traversing Waveform Relaxation (BTWR), is adopted as the fundamental simulation algorithm. All proposed methods have been implemented and tested. Experimental results justify the values of proposed methods.

Initialization Scheme

This paper reports the development of the Cairo University Waveform Relaxation (CUWORX) simulator. In order to accelerate the convergence of the waveform relaxation (WR) in the presence of logic feedback, CUWORK is initialized via a logic simulator. This logic initialization scheme is shown to be highly effective for digital synchronous circuits. Additionally, this logic initialization scheme preserves fully the multi-rate properties of the WR algorithm.
