Simulation Tools:We will be using intensive computer simulations in the homework. Matlab is used to design and verify the system performance. The preferred circuit simulators are SPECTRE, HSPICE/AWAVES (from Avanti). Most of the homework sets only require the use of a SPICE simulator, but some require the use of SPECTRE. § MATLAB §

UNIX Account: Anyone enrolled
in the class will be able to obtain a temporary EECS instructional account on
EE UNIX clusters that has access to the latest version of HSPICE / SPECTRE.
Let me know asap if you need an account. Students are also encouraged to use
their local resources if possible to avoid networking problems when intensive
GUI information data is transmitted. Some students had problems with company
firewall before, which prevents them from logging into If you have any questions or problems running HSPICE, contact the course consultant. If there are administrative issues with the instructional clusters, contact root@cory. Information about connecting over the network can be found at http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/connecting.html. It includes information about downloading SSH for free and about using X Windows. You can get help via email to root@cory or call Kevin if you are really stuck (510-643-6141). § Connecting to your temporary account § Instructional Computing WEB site |
