NeuroSPICE: When Circuits Stop Ticking and Start Thinking
A circuit simulator normally moves forward one small step at a time. Calculate the voltages now. Advance the clock. Calculate them again. Repeat until the simulated waveform reaches the end of the requested interval—or until the solver discovers a particularly creative reason to stop converging. NeuroSPICE proposes a different arrangement. Instead of calculating a circuit’s state sequentially across discrete time steps, it trains a neural network to represent the circuit’s entire waveform as a continuous function of time.1 ...
