Synopsys.FineSim.2015.06.LinuxMulti-Core/Multi-Machine Enabled Full-Chip Circuit-Level Simulation OverviewFineSim™ is a high-performance circuit simulator with built-in full SPICE and FastSPICE simulation engines. FineSim\’s unique multi-core/multi-machine simulation capability allows users to drastically improve simulation performance and capacity. FineSim is well-suited for simulation of large, complex analog circuits, as well as DRAM/SRAM/Flash memory design. IntroductionTypically, analog and digital blocks are verified independently with different simulation technology that varies in accuracy. When analog and digital blocks are combined in one simulation, due to capacity limitations of traditional simulators, verifying them together usually requires some additional modeling techniques that only approximate circuit behavior. In some cases, this can introduce false design errors causing engineers to spend a significant amount of time searching for the root cause. As...
