A Vector File Generation Program for Simulating Single Electron Transistor based Computing System

A microprocessor or a computing system is a general purpose device which works on the user defined instructions. The simulation of a computing system requires complex stimuli to verify the design. It needs initialization and configuration of memory for required instructions and their execution. A Single Electron Transistors based computing system can be designed using Cadence Virtuoso environment. The traditional method of design verification is to simulate the design by applying inputs through multiple signal sources. Using this approach, the simulation is tedious and complicated. Cadence Spectre tool has a facility to simulate the design using a vector file which combines multiple signal sources in a text file. But, writing a vector file manually is complex and erroneous. To overcome this problem, we have designed a program that will generate a vector file based on the user selected instructions and parameters. It makes the simulation straightforward and accurate. This paper describes the design of the program for vector file generation.
