Acceleration of integrated circuit simulation using SYCL and oneAPI

Simulation of integrated circuits consists of solving matrix-based equations. As the size of the modern circuits increases, the computation time and resources for a simulation have significantly increased. The recent progress in heterogenous hardware platforms has created an opportunity to increase the efficiency of these simulations. In this project, we demonstrate the acceleration of LU decomposition as the core algorithm in solving circuits using SYCL and oneAPI on CPU and GPU. We demonstrate results and discuss the development experience and future opportunities in using SYCL and oneAPI.
