InCyte Lite 2007-12-26 16:43:42 Description: ChipEstimate.com offers a free version of their InCyte chip estimation tool. Their website states "The system is used by thousands of chip planners to assess project feasibility, compare different IP configurations and to see the impact of new process nodes and IP on new and existing designs. Users input a high level design specification and InCyte Lite produces industry average estimations of chip die size, power, and leakage. Models used for estimation are built based upon averages from leading foundries and IP library suppliers. InCyte provides industry average estimation of the following key metrics:
  • Die area - Total die size and bounding, factoring in all specified IP and design components.
  • Power - Dynamic power consumption computed based on individual design components, factoring in frequency, switching activities, gate and IP data.
  • Leakage - Static power consumption computed and broken down by core, I/O, hierarchical block, as well as each IP macro. "
MagNet & ElecNet 2007-12-10 18:41:36 Description: Infolytica offers trial versions of its MagNet and ElecNet tools. Unlike a lot of trial software, these come with a reasonable duration license (the version of MagNet we downloaded had a license file good through August 2008 - a full nine months away), and some nifty features. The MagNet trial does static electromagnetic field simulations. ElecNet does electric field simulation.

CLARAty Reusable Robotic Software 2007-08-16 20:24:30 Description: "CLARAty is a framework that promotes reusable robotic software. It was designed to support heterogeneous robotic platforms and integrate advanced robotic capabilities from multiple institutions.

CLARAty stands for Coupled-Layer Architecture for Robotic Autonomy. It is a collaborative effort among four institutions: Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA Ames Research Center, Carnegie Mellon, and the University of Minnesota."

GreenSocs ESL Effort 2007-06-16 17:43:55 Description: The GreenSocs web site provides collaboratively developed, peer reviewed, ESL interfaces and infrastructure. Contents include GreenBus ("a versatile SystemC framework with which to model busses") and associated Spirit generator, DUST analysis framework for SystemC, a SystemC parser, and more.
CircuitLogix 2007-06-12 20:15:41 Description: CircuitLogix is a Spice-based simulation package that appears to be targeted at the educational marketplace. A free student version is can be downloaded by students for use on their own machines. See the CircuitLogix web site for license restrictions.
Calc98 2007-06-03 20:34:58 Description: Award winning calculator program for Windows. Supports scientific and programmer functions (hex/octal/binary operations are included).
Reverse Polish Notation Calculator 2007-06-03 16:34:59 Description: This browser-based RPN calculator was written by Guido Socher. It offers a 5 deep stack (all levels visible), 4 memory stores, and basic trig and log functions.
SpecC Reference Compiler 2007-05-29 18:15:28 Description: Offered by the University of California, Irvine, Center for Embedded Computer Systems, "The SpecC Reference Compiler (SCRC) is an Open Source implementation of a compiler and simulator for the SpecC language."
Quartus II Web Edition Software from Altera 2007-05-24 19:01:19 Description: Like many vendors, Altera has both free and subscription versions of their design software available. Check their online comparison chart to see if the free version will suit your needs.
5Spice 2007-05-19 14:28:42 Description: This commercial product can be used free for non-commercial use. The 5Spice website describes itself as follows:

"5Spice is a new graphical user interface that wraps around a traditional Spice simulation engine, presenting a single application to the user. It offers easy to use analog circuit simulation for the typical circuit designer.

5Spice provides Spice specific schematic entry, the ability to define and save an unlimited number of analyses, integrated graphing of simulation results plus easy inclusion of Spice/PSpice subcircuits from a user expandable library. The program's self-documentation capability allows designers to rapidly return to their work after months off. 5Spice provides the analysis capabilities needed by experienced circuit designers while remaining easy to use - a big step up from student oriented Spice programs. The focus is on analog circuit analysis and circuit design at the component level. Student level MOSFET IC design is also supported but not compatible with HSpice model libraries."

SEQUEL 2007-05-19 13:58:29 Description: SEQUEL (Solver for circuit EQuations with User-defined ELements) developed at IIT Bombay. The web site notes "The circuit simulator SEQUEL is at a fairly advanced stage and has been used for several applications such as Power Electronics, Power Systems, electronic circuits, biomedical problems, switched-capacitor circuits, MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) etc."
