Public Domain Open Source Software:
- FastMaxwell,
[Tarek El-Moselhy] An open-source, full-wave, 3D, electromagnetic solver
for efficient extraction of interconnect structures above a substrate. The
code is accelerated via the efficient discrete complex image method,
efficient full-wave integration routines and an iterative precorrected
fast Fourier transform matrix vector product. The code has been tested on
a variety of large scale (up to 300,000 unknowns) structures.
- Caplet [YuChung Hsiao] A C++ open source capacitance
extraction. Specialized instantiable basis function templates move the
computational bottleneck of this integral equation solver from the
non-embarrassingly parallelizable matrix solver to the embarrassingly
parallelizable matrix setup phase. 90% parallel efficiencies have been
demonstrated on tens of cores. “Real-time” capacitance
extraction performance (could be used to generate 3D field solver accurate
parasitic capacitance values while dragging and stretching wires with the
mouse). CAPLET can directly handle GDS2 layout files into capacitance
matrices in both GUI and command line interfaces. The internal extraction
algorithm is specialized for VLSI interconnect structures but not
exclusively, as long as the structure is of
- Squid (stable
quasiconvex identification) [Kin Cheong
Sou] An open-source matlab tool for the generation of reduced order linear
system models from available transfer function data points. The tool is
based on a quasi-convex relaxation of a system identification problem
subject to stability and passivity constraints.
- M2VerilogA:
[Zohaib Mahmood] A wrapper class which takes in S-parameter or Z-parameter
file in `.snp' touchstone format or .mat file in matlab and generates a
compact dynamical model. The code incorporates binary search to find
minimum system order for given error bound. The final model is saved in a
verilogA file which can be easily interfaced with commercial simulators
such as spectre.
- Stins (stable identification
of nonlinear systems) [Brad Bond], A
public domain open source compact modeling code for nonlinear analog
circuit blocks such as low noise amplifiers, mixers, or power amplifiers,
based on system identification with stability guarantees.
- MARIE [coming
soon] - Magnetic Resonance Integral Equation suite. An open source MATLAB
code for the electromagnetic analysis of high field MRI problems with
realistic human body models, including transmit and receive coil analysis.
- [coming soon] open
source MATLAB code for automated design of a decoupling matrix connected
between the power amplifiers and coupled RF arrays. This decoupling matrix
mixes the input signals and transforms the impedance to ensure all forward
power is delivered to the load
