Abstract
A general and efficient preprocessing algorithm which can increase circuit simulation efficiency is discussed. The algorithm identifies significant devices based upon circuit topology. Device model complexity and error tolerances are varied based upon device significance which results in a reduction in the required model evaluation time.<>
