Simulation Time

Table 7 shows two case of simulation time. One is the time it takes for HSPICE to simulate the original netlist (i.e. before the reduction). The other is the time taken to simulate the reduced netlist by THYME. The original netlist requires 21652.81 seconds while the reduced netlist requires only 12666.74 seconds, reducing the simulation time to about 58%. THYME required 76.3 seconds to reduce the netlist. Negligible!
