Parallel algorithms for the simulation of lossy transmission lines

The simulation of lossy transmission lines in the time domain is a very time consuming task. It requires numerical convolutions and the solution of linear and nonlinear equation systems. In this paper a model for lossy transmission lines and an algorithm for the simulation of these lines is presented. Based on this an approach for the parallel simulation of lossy transmission lines is developed. As this approach covers all time consuming tasks of the simulation a good speed up compared to a single processor solution is expected. Preliminary results are presented at the end of the paper.
