Gemini Design Automation, a start-up company focused on the challenges of verifying complex analog and mixed-signal designs, today unveiled a fast SPICE-accurate simulation technology specifically developed to leverage the throughput advantages of multi-core computing. The company claims that its native multi-threaded technology has demonstrated run times and capacity of up to 30x that of earlier generation analog simulators, and up to 10x improvements over first-generation multi-threaded approaches. The technology has been under development for three years and is being used in several production design environments, as well as benchmarked extensively against state of the art analog simulators, including multi-threaded ones.
