I understand that the SPICE simulator is a public domain program. Does anyone know where one can download a current version of SPICE for a Sun workstation? Thanks in advance.

Madisetti) Organization: University of California, Berkeley In apropos of the interest in distributed simulation recently shown in this group, the following papers may be of interest. Please contact the addresses shown below for copies. 1. Madisetti, V., Walrand, J. and D. Messerschmitt, "On Estimating the Progress of Optimistic Distributed Computation- Two Processor Case". ERL Preprint, UC Berkeley. March 15, 1989 2. ___________________, "On Estimating the Progress of Optimisitic Distributed Computation: Multiple Processor Case", ERL Preprint, UC Berkeley, May 4, 1989. In these papers a model for the analysis of optimistic distributed computation on a number of asynchronous processors is developed. Anslysis to derive estimates of the progress of distributed computation is presented for two different synchronization strategies. Our results may offer some more insight into how optimistic synchronization works in a general framework of asynchronous computation. These papers do not compare optimistic with conservative mechanisms, which is quite application dependent. Some issues are discussed in 3. ______________"Efficient Distributed Simulation", Proc. of Annual Simulation Symposium, March 1989, Tampa, IEEE Computer Society Press, 1989.

He only has access to Sun 3/50 computers and PCs (IBM and MacII). Are packages which meet his requirements? Any information will be appreciated. Please write to rkumar@buddha.usc.edu I will post a summary if there is sufficient interest. Thanks. Ravi ------------------------------------------------------------ Now that sounds easy.
