> Hopefully you'll figure out some way of running the calculations on a gpu

We had some discussions on solving linear equations recently. The typical matrix size observed for sound circuits (relatively small) will make the overhead most likely more expensive than what you could gain.

In addition, for diodes and other non-linear circuits like BJTs the matrix has to be recomputed on every step of the Newton-Raphson algo.

The logic subsystem is build around a timed queue and thus not really suited for GPU parallel solving.

FPGAs could be an option - read netlist, compile FPGA code and run. But depending on the communication rate between cpus and the discrete circuit the overhead again may be more expensive than what you gain.
