This paper addresses the determination of high‐order Volterra transfer functions of non‐linear multiport networks containing multidimensional non‐linear elements. A new method is developed for utilizing parallel computing which is very efficient for approximately 10–20 processors. The utilization of each processor may be as high as 80%–95%. The developed program is very flexible as it is ANSI C++ compatible and may run on both single‐ and multiprocessor computers. Using about eight processors it is possible to analyse rather complicated non‐linear circuits up to ninth order in a few hours. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
