-Xyce 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.

-The Xyce Parallel Electronic Simulator is a SPICE-compatible circuit simulator,
-developed internally at Sandia National Laboratories and funded by the National
-Nuclear Security Administration's Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC)
-Campaign. In continuous development since 1999, Xyce is designed to run on
-large-scale parallel computing platforms, though it also executes efficiently on
-a variety of architectures, including single processor workstations. As a mature
-platform for large-scale parallel circuit simulation, Xyce supports standard
-capabilities available from commercial simulators, in addition to a variety of
-devices and models specific to Sandia's needs.
