I aggree with you. But when you should be used. Hsim, StarSim or nanosim will run the fullchip simulation in a fraction of time with the price of accuracy sacrify. The right tool for the right job!cin said:HSIM only took less than 3 minutes to simulate my entire full custom 32 x 32 register file. It really save me a lot of time when I tried to debug my layout. When my simulation fails, I can quickly modified my layout & resimulate it. However, this is impossible for me to do so under HSPICE or SmartSpice for such a large circuits. Both HSPICE & Smartspice just take too long ....

Did anyone compared/used the latest HSIM version which is called by NASSDA as HSIM Plus?
According to Nassda the upgrade is provided free of charge for customers with maintenance agreement. The benchmark published in their website (**broken link removed**) is very impressive.
Did someone compared HSIM plus to Adit and the latest version of Nanosim (Nanosim got many improvments in 2003)?
Take care.
obrian said:I thought HSIM plus was just repackaged HSIM with "options"
I heard one of the options were SPICE netlist parser.. How are you going to run simulation if you don't purchase that option! hehe..
Probably my misunderstanding.. but I thought it was funny.
I heard HSPICE improved its speed by 25% but has anyone verificed this?
Nanosim (with starsim combined) should has a lot of improvements.
But among HSIM, Nanosim and ADiT, I think ADiT is the easiest to use.
I thought using ADiT was quite similar to using HSPICE.. (Which I used a lot during college years!)
