Lossless Partitioning is a class of partitioning for electronic circuits that allows an original design, such as circuit, layout, and mask set to be partitioned in a hierarchical or flat manner with arbitrary boundaries; and reconstructed with verifiable True-SPICE accuracy for all nodal and branch circuit values and with 100% traceability between the original design and the newly partitioned design. |

Hierarchical Parallel Distributed Architecture, (HPDA) is the name of GRID's unique architecture which enables hierarchical RCL network simulation across a parallel and/or distributed system of multi-core computational resources. HPDA enables GRID's tools to simulate problems well beyond the capacity or time barriers of competing tools. |

It's very important to make a distinction between the so-called 'fast-SPICE' class of simulators and True SPICE. The Fast-SPICE simulators achieve their speed in great measure by taking simplifying shortcuts -- your network is simplified by lumping together or removing network elements, the computational matrix is reduced, and models are simplified. This all adds up to inaccuracy and difficulty in achieving a stable stationary solution. True SPICE simulators do not compromise accuracy. GRID's tools are True SPICE accurate tools with accuracy rigorously confirmed by SimCHECK -- the most rigorous network verification tool available anywhere. Tags: |

Night and day! The so-called 'Fast-SPICE' class of simulators are inherently inaccurate for the simple reason that they typically achieve their speed and apparent capacity by reduction techniques; including network nodal reduction, model-order reduction, and/or matrix reduction.
True SPICE accuracy voltage/current value reporting at all nodes/branches is therefore impossible.

SimCHECK is GRID's exciting network verification solution which enables one to rigorously verify every single node and branch of a simulation result for compliance with fundamental circuit theory compliance. Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL), Kirchoff's Circuit Law (KCL), and Power balance laws must always be satisfied and SimCHECK verifies any non compliant nodes or branches. Tags: |

This may come as a surprise to some EDA simulation engineers, but different simulators can give substantially different results from others! ... even simulators from the same company.
A big source of these errors is due to the circuit nodal and matrix reduction used by some EDA tool makers -- often behind the scenes.
These simulation errors can now be a significant cause of error which must be accounted for in the overall error margin.
SimCHECK was designed to meet this need for a strict and consistent basis for compliance to fundamental laws of circuit theory; Kirchoff's circulations laws and the power balance. Tags: |
