It also supports serial execution on +all common desktop platforms, and small-scale parallel runs on Unix-like +systems. In addition to analog electronic simulation, Xyce has also been used +to investigate more general network systems, such as neural networks and power +grids. + +The Xyce Parallel Electronic Simulator is a SPICE-compatible circuit simulator, +developed internally at Sandia National Laboratories and funded by the National +Nuclear Security Administration's Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) +Campaign. In continuous development since 1999, Xyce is designed to run on +large-scale parallel computing platforms, though it also executes efficiently on +a variety of architectures, including single processor workstations. As a mature +platform for large-scale parallel circuit simulation, Xyce supports standard +capabilities available from commercial simulators, in addition to a variety of +devices and models specific to Sandia's needs. + +The package is intalled at: /opt/Xyce +Remember to set the library and path: + +PATH=$PATH:/opt/Xyce/bin + +For 32-bit: +LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/Xyce/lib + +For 64-bit: +LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/Xyce/lib64 + +To run the suite test: +# cd /opt/Xyce/Xyce_Regression-6.3/TestScripts +# ./run_xyce_regression + +For parallel simulation trilinos must be compiled with MPI. + +Additonal requirements: + - MPI (openmpi/mpich) + - parMETIS |
