Abstract :
This paper presents two methods for solving a partial differential equation of the second order, with application to the well-known Poisson equation. These methods are aimed at making a high-speed hardware solver. The solutions presented will be a part of a hardware device simulator which is called “Virtual Device”. We present simulation results to compare the two methods for solving this equation. We start with an iterative method (Gauss-Seidel method) and then end with a direct method (LU method)
