Subject: Where can SPICE be obtained?
I understand that the SPICE simulator is a public domain program. Does
anyone know where one can download a current version of SPICE for a
Sun workstation?
Thanks in advance.

In apropos of the interest in distributed simulation recently
shown in this group, the following papers may be of interest.
Please contact the addresses shown below for copies.
1. Madisetti, V., Walrand, J. and D. Messerschmitt, "On
Estimating the Progress of Optimistic Distributed Computation-
Two Processor Case". ERL Preprint, UC Berkeley. March 15, 1989
2. ___________________, "On Estimating the Progress of Optimisitic
Distributed Computation: Multiple Processor Case", ERL Preprint,
UC Berkeley, May 4, 1989.
In these papers a model for the analysis of optimistic distributed
computation on a number of asynchronous processors is developed.
Anslysis to derive estimates of the progress of distributed
computation is presented for two different synchronization
strategies. Our results may offer some more insight into
how optimistic synchronization works in a general framework
of asynchronous computation.
These papers do not compare optimistic with conservative
mechanisms, which is quite application dependent. Some issues
are discussed in
3. ______________"Efficient Distributed Simulation", Proc.
of Annual Simulation Symposium, March 1989, Tampa, IEEE
Computer Society Press, 1989.

A friend of mine is looking for a Simulation Package
which will enable him to simulate a
multiple processor system. He only has access to
Sun 3/50 computers and PCs (IBM and MacII).
Are packages which meet his requirements?
Any information will be appreciated. Please write
to rkumar@buddha.usc.edu
I will post a summary if there is sufficient
interest.
Thanks.
Ravi

Now that sounds easy. If it takes 30 minutes to cook a batch of
20 cookies, it should take 60 minutes to cook a batch of 40.
