  Hello out there.
  I recently received a copy of SPICE release 3f.4. The code has
  #ifdef ipsc -statements in it, and I assume that ipsc refers to
  Intel hypercubes. However, I cannot find *any* further references
  in the documentation or readme's to anything even close to a hypercube.
  Since my original plan was to install this software on a Paragon,
  my questions are :

  Has anyone out there used a parallel version of SPICE? Do you know
  of or have heard of anyone who can provide any information about this?

  Furthermore, if anyone out there know of or have heard of similar 
  software that has been parallelized, could you please email me a hint?
  (SPICE is a tool used by microchip designers to analyze circuits. I'm
  not one of those  :-], so I apologize for not being able to explain
  this  better.)

  Any pointers are appreciated. Preferably by email.
  Thanks in advance,

  Bjarne Geir Herland
