Intusoft Developing Multi-Processor Version of SPICE


Intusoft is developing a multithreaded, multiprocessor version of the
popular SPICE analog circuit simulation program.  When complete the
new simulator, called IsSpice5x, will be able to simulate circuits
with a linear increase in speed per additional CPU.  This will allow
users to nearly double the speed of their SPICE simulations simply by
adding another processor.  Several new partitioning algorithms are
being added to the current IsSpice4 version in order to support
multiprocessor operation.  Initially, Windows NT operating platforms
will be targeted, but multiprocessor versions of Windows95 are also
expected to be able to run the new software.

IsSpice4 is a native mixed mode simulator with an event driven
digital simulator built into the SPICE core.  The SPICE portion is
based on U.C.  Berkeley SPICE 3F.  IsSpice4 is part of the ICAP/4
simulation system.  ICAP/4 includes an integrated schematic entry
program to draw the circuits, extensive SPICE model libraries with
over 5000 models, and graphical waveform processing.

IsSpice5x is expected to be released in the first half of 1995. 
Price is as yet undetermined.
