This paper investigates an efficient implementation of circuit simulator sparta based on the preconditioned Jacobi method on a loosely coupled distributed memory machine Fujitsu AP1000. The preconditioned relaxation methods are linear solvers effective in large scale circuit simulations. Because the preconditioned Jacobi method has a high paralleli...

We describe a parallel computing approach for large-scale SPICE-accurate circuit simulation, which is based on a new strategy for the parallel preconditioned iterative solution of circuit matrices. This strategy consists of several steps, including singleton removal, block triangular form (BTF) reordering, hypergraph partitioning, and a block Jacob...

We propose the Ensparsed LU decomposition (ELU) method as a linear solver for large-scale circuit transient analysis. Ensparsing is an algorithmic technique of ignoring small values in computation. While some researchers have used ensparsing by value in linear solvers for circuit simulation, the ELU method incorporates ensparsing by time as well. A high performance implementation of the ELU method for transient analysis is also investigated. The ELU method is faster than the conventional linear solvers, and the advantages of the ELU method will still increase for larger circuits

This article takes as its starting point the burning down of traditional markets and clearance of squatter communities and street vendors that took place in the major Indonesian port city of Surabaya during 2007–08. It is argued that a legible landscape facilitating intervention, simulation and passage now marks a city where malls and hotels linked into new accelerated networks of unobstructed streets form the dominant presence. Using recent anthropological investigation from a poor neighbourhood and broader economic analysis of urban trends, the article demonstrates that while this landscape both displaces the poor and generates unprecedented revenues for the municipal government, it also contributes to a delegitimization of the city's municipal administration as it struggles to extend a legible gaze over the city's poor neighbourhoods.
