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.
Due to an internal process change, the Xyce team has decided to break/restart the project history. The master branch has been moved to track changes rooted in a new orphaned node/commit in the repository. The new root commit is based on the final merge commit for the 7.9 release (so that there are no differences between the top of the old tree and this new root commit). All future updates will be pushed to the re-rooted master branch.
Users may encounter the following error trying to update their repositories:
fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories
To resolve the issue, we recommend deleting your local master branch and creating a new branch to track origin/master.
git fetch
git checkout -b temp_branch
git branch -D master
git checkout master
git branch -D temp_branch
To preserve a continuous view of the project history; replace the new root commit with the head of the old history.
git replace <new root tag/commit id> <origin/old_master or commit id>
We apologize for any inconvenience.
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.
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.
