The research focuses on type of circuit timing simulation, which                can do variable accuracy analysis (at the discretion of the                     user).  This approach to timing simulation has potential to                     provide design engineers with faster and more accurate simulation               of circuit design.  The research is on-going work on an                         integrated circuit timing simulator prototype called SPEC82.                    This prototype simulator is tree/link based, event-driven and                   uses charge and energy conserving table models for device                       characterization.  It has shown encouraging results in speed and                accuracy of simulation.  Research is in improving capabilities of               SPEC82 through accommodation of more devices, generalized macro-                modeling, spread time-constant control, and adaptive error                      control.  Benchmark tests will be run on the improved SPEC82                    simulator.
