Spatial processing of sparse, irregular, double-precision floating-point computation using a single field-programmable gate array (FPGA) enables up to an order of magnitude speedup (mean 2.8× speedup) over a conventional microprocessor for the SPICE circuit simulator. We develop a parallel, FPGA-bas...
