Abstract: We describe a new extraction tool, EMX (Electro-Magnetic eXtractor), for the analysis of RF, analog and high-speed digital circuits. EMX is a fast full-wave field solver. It incorporates two new techniques which make it significantly faster and more memory-efficient than previous solvers. First, it takes advantage of layout regularity in typical designs. Second, EMX uses a new method for computing the vector-potential component in the mixed potential integral equation. These techniques give a speed-up of more than a factor of ten, together with a corresponding reduction in memory.

TL;DR: Performance comparisons on integrated circuit bus crossing problems show that for problems with as few as 12 conductors the multipole accelerated boundary element method can be nearly 500 times faster than Gaussian-elimination-based algorithms, and five to ten times slower than the iterative method alone, depending on required accuracy.
