[comp.lsi.cad] compare SPICE3D2 and HSPICE

ruck@reef.cis.ufl.edu (John Ruckstuhl) (01/23/91)

Someone in my department has alleged that HSPICE (?Meta-Software, Inc, 
Campbell, CA (408) 371-5100?) has better convergent properties and more
features than SPICE3D2 (recently released by Berkeley).

SPICE3D2 source code is available for a Materials/Handling fee of $250
from Berkeley.
HSPICE is $1000/yr per machine architecture at University discount price.

Would someone in the know please comment?  Comparison of graphics
capabilities would be helpful also.

Thank you.
Best Regards,
ruck
