ABSTRACT:
Model evaluation and circuit simulation/verification is performed in a graphical processing unit (GPU). A multitude of first texture data corresponding to size parameters of devices are stored. A multitude of second texture data corresponding to instance parameters of the devices are stored. A multitude of third texture data corresponding to models of the devices are stored. A multitude of fourth texture data corresponding to terminal voltages received by the device are stored. A multitude of links linking each device instance to an associated device model, size parameters and instance parameters are stored. A quad having a size defined by the multitude of links is drawn by the quad in the GPU. Each thread in the quad is assigned to a different one of the multitude of links. The computations are carried out in each thread using the linked data to perform the model evaluation.
