The PWL form describes a piecewise linear waveform. Each pair of time-voltage value pairs specifies a corner of the waveform. The voltage at times between corners is the linear interpolation of the voltage at the corners.

The percentage of simulation time spent in evaluating the devices and solving the matrix is dependent on circuit type. The key to accelerating SPICE on a multicore CPU is to be able to parallelize as much of each individual task as possible without sacrificing accuracy.

HSpice is pretty much an industry reference analog simulator, based on the original Berkeley Spice 2g code - although it has probably been entirely rewritten at this point. Spectre is an alternative simulator targeting transistor level simulation written from scratch at Cadence.

When a Monte Carlo simulation is used in SPICE, the simulation generates the component values in your circuit randomly using tolerances that you define. It then uses these randomly generated component values to run a standard SPICE simulation.

pwl is a file format that can be used to define the signal of voltage/current sources in a SPICE simulation.

In order to use HSPICE under UNIX at UC Berkeley, you'll need to login to a UNIX server. This is done using a protocol called SSH. If you are running Linux, MacOS, or UNIX at home, you should have everything you need to jump to the section entitled “Running SSH”.

HSPICE is just a program that takes in a netlist (a simple text file containing a circuit description and analysis options) and outputs the analysis it has performed on the circuit. An HSPICE netlist typically has an . sp extension, e.g. circuit.
