The authors describe the implementation and further development of a decomposition algorithm derived to make SPICE (simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis) run in parallel for simulation of large-scale circuits and/or other applications which take advantage of such a parallel processing technique. Transputers were chosen for the hardware platform. Initial test run results confirm the expected improvement in the speed-up factor due to both the decomposition algorithm and the multi-processor implementation.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
