This paper describes user-interface building for device simulation using a heterogeneous computer network. After profiling MINIMOS and analyzing the user demands, we decide to parallize the input parameter sets and then build the Multiple Input-files Multiple Parameter-sets (MIMP) user-interface and Single Input-file Multiple Parameter-sets (SIMP) user-interface. Both interfaces allow device engineers to exploit existing network resource to simulate multiple device parameter sets concurrently with minimal change to the validated standard codes, thus achieving low cost and reliable speedup
