Abstract
<para xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> In this paper, we present a novel pattern-based method to simulate large-scaled power/ground (P/G) grids. This method takes advantage of both traditional direct simulation methods and iterative simulation methods. The new method explores the geometry characteristics of regular P/G grids and translates topology similarity to submatrix regularity, which is called “pattern” in this paper. Such pattern structures can reduce the memory usage dramatically. Further, a new type of preconditioner is constructed to optimize the simulation process. Experimental results show that the proposed approach is about 5<formula formulatype="inline"><tex>$\times$</tex></formula> faster than the previous iterative methods with much lower memory, and is superior to the macro model-based hierarchical method on the tested large cases with pattern structures. </para>
