12 Speed Upgrades 5 levels of speed upgrades Default speed level is 3 Speed level 0 should be set for compatibility with previous releases Removed multi-core usage limit and default multi-thread usage Previous releases used 50% of the available threads up to four cores Speed levels allows faster switching of devices and shows substantial improvement In test cases with switches, more than a 5x performance improvement has been measured at level 3 Significant upgrade in PSpice performance Cadence Design Systems, Inc. Cadence confidential.

13 Convergence Improvements Previous releases required a high ITL4 values when using Switches circuits to achieve convergence At low ITL4 values, convergence errors were observed At high ITL4 values, performance and mathematic errors were frequently observed With QIR7 improvements, it is recommended to use lower values of ITL4 to achieve convergence and performance Note: using SPEED_LEVEL=0 will require high ITL4 values to converge Designs with Switches converge at lower ITL4 values Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
