Support for SMP ??
Hi, here at work, we are designing ASIC's. We have considered using
ng-spice to simulate ...
erhm, stuff, yeah lets call it that. (i dont know much about
eletronics/ASIC/... i'm just the sysadm.)
Anyway, we were wondering if ng-spice supports SMP, that being 2 or more
processors
And/Or if one could put the simulations on a beowulf cluster and get
faster simulations out of that.
Finaly, there exists some nice pci cards with 1-4 G4 cpu's on them. The
G4 has the altivec unit, which should be quite nice for doing matrix
calculations, which i have heard from our designers that the simulations
do ALOT of. So, my question was if ng-spice runs on powerpc/G4 and makes
use of the altivec. (possible also if altivec might be a benefit for
this kind of computation.)
