Abstract

The simulation of circuits having between 2000 and 5000 active devices requires the largest, fastest computer available. Vector computers such as the Cyber 205 and the Cray-1 can give great speed and cost advantage if some trouble is taken to adapt the program to the strengths of the target machine. The program VAMOS (vectorized analysis of MSO) is a DC and time-domain simulator resulting from the successful adaptation of an existing circuit simulator based on SPICE2 to the Cyber 205. A program speedup of 3 to 4 was accomplished through vectorization. Total program performance was uneven due to the difficulty of vectorizing certain code sections. Particularly the matrix solution. Performance of completely vectorized routines was spectacular. 6 references.
