[comp.lsi] SPICE Implementation

jouvelot@mit-vax.LCS.MIT.EDU (Pierre Jouvelot) (10/23/87)

Hi,

I don't know if this is really  the appropriate group for this, but let's try !

I'm looking for any information on the way SPICE is implemented: organization,
language used, data structures, algorithms,... My goal is to try to analyze it
in order to figure out how it could be implemented on a parallel machine (BTW,
if anyone did that before, I'll be happy to here about him/her).

Thanks in advance,

Pierre

The classic reference is "SPICE: A Computer Program to Simulate
Semiconductor Circuits" by Laurence Nagel, Memo No. ERL-M520, UCB
Electronics Research laboratory.

Byte July 1986 had a simpler article on circuit simulation.
