SMASH 7.6.0 mixed-signal simulator significantly speeds up OP/DC and transient analyses of analog and mixed designs in advanced nodes by a gain between x2 and x6. These major speed-up gains have been possible thanks to new methods and algorithms without losing simulation accuracy, as merge of identical SPICE instances, improve evaluation of MOS transistors, RC reduction methods and new Solver. All these features allow SMASH to be as fast or even to overtake the major fastest golden spice simulators, while ensuring accuracy of a single solver SPICE simulator. SMASH is now supporting SystemVerilog language for RTL synthesizable simulations, thanks to the integration of Verilator. Verilator is open source Verilog/SystemVerilog simulator. Verilator converts Verilog HDL modules to C++ models which are...
