On the Parallelization of the MultiAIM Algorithm for the Fast Electromagnetic Analysis of 3D ICs

We propose a parallelization strategy for the Mul-tiAIM algorithm, to accelerate the electromagnetic analysis of multiscale integrated circuit layouts. We devise a solution for shared memory architectures. With a careful choice of numerical libraries, we achieve a code that can be easily adapted to distributed-memory clusters. Preliminary tests on a commercial 3D integrated circuit show good scalability up to 32 cores, and outline a few directions for further improvements.
