The Xyce™ Regression Test Suite

This is the test suite associated with the Xyce analog circuit simulator, in this GitHub project (https://github.com/Xyce). The documentation for how to use this test suite is available on the Xyce Homepage at https://xyce.sandia.gov/documentation/RunningTheTests.html.

The Xyce Regression Suite contains hundreds of tests intended to demonstrate correct functioning of Xyce on any platform. In addition to basic function tests, the suite also contains test cases designed to verify that particular bugs have been fixed, and to ensure they don't get re-introduced. These tests are run nightly on all our supported platforms, and also by Xyce developers in the course of their work.

About Xyce

Xyce (zīs, rhymes with "spice") is an open source, SPICE-compatible, high-performance analog circuit simulator, capable of solving extremely large circuit problems by supporting large-scale parallel computing platforms. It also supports serial execution on all common desktop platforms, and small-scale parallel runs on Unix-like systems. In addition to analog electronic simulation, Xyce has also been used to investigate more general network systems, such as neural networks and power grids. In providing an Open Source version of Xyce to the external community, Sandia hopes to contribute a robust and modern electronic simulator to users and researchers in the field.

The Xyce repository is available on GitHub here.

Contributing

We welcome bug reports and enhancement requests. Those can be done through the GitHub "Issues" area, or other methods. Due to internal restrictions, however, it is difficult for us to accept external contributions at this time, which includes pull requests. Nevertheless, if you would like to discuss the possibility of a contribution, please contact us.
