The Automatic Element Routine Generator: an automatic programming tool for functional simulator design

The concept presented in this paper is that of a circuit simulator with the ability to generate software for element routines automatically at the time of circuit definition, and then execute the programs at the time of simulation. The approach is based on a paradigm of sequential transformations using domain-specific knowledge of circuit design. A prototype system was developed to accomplish these goals and the results are reported in this paper.<<ETX>>
