TRANSPUTER SIMULATION OF DECOUPLED ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS

This paper describes a parallel simulation of an electrical circuit us ing the Transmission Line Modelling (TLM) method. The TLM method is us ed to decouple the circuit into sub-circuits which are then simulated concurrently in a parallel processing system. This approach not only s implifies the circuit formulation process but also reduces the overall computing time of the circuit simulation when compared with tradition al sequential method. The techniques for decoupling the circuit and im plementing the parallel algorithm are described. The method is demonst rated in an electrical circuit simulation. Comparison of the computing time and simulated results with the sequential approach confirms the computing efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
