[comp.lsi] Fault Simulation

buchs@MAYO.EDU (Kevin J. Buchs) (01/13/90)

We are in the process of looking at fault simulation in the MagiCAD tools 
developed at Mayo Special Purpose Processor Development Group.  We currently use 
(rather, have) HITS.

I am not very familiar with the Berkeley MAGIC tools.  Someone told me there is 
a fault simulator included in that set.  Can anyone confirm or deny this?  Are 
the MAGIC tools available for Anon FTP from somewhere?

Can anyone else recomment a cheap (prefferably free) fault simulator.  MagiCAD 
is distributed to two schools and also may go to some other research groups.  It 
is sponsored by Darpa.  We would like to make our system as low cost as 
possible.  For any HITS fans out there, we have not rejected HITS yet; in fact, 
I have not really begun to understand it.  We would like to get a survey of the 
field first before we really dig into HITS.

Please repost this to other lists/news groups if applicable.  Thanks.
