Real-life simulation

As proof of concept the industrial partners and Austrian Fachhochschule Oberösterreich implement the academically developed mathematical analysis methods in real-life simulation and/or industrial use-cases. A number of relevant test cases from the repositories of the partners, who are end-users, has been set up to compile an inventory. Next, the simulation results of the tools and algorithms developed within the project are compared against the results obtained with commercial and/or public domain tools already in use.


The ICESTARS validation plan is based on test benches/examples covering the complete functionality of the tools being developed. This will give a rough description of when and what in terms of validation, including test benches and timing.

In principle, all test cases/benchmark data will be put on the internal website as soon as they become available, to be used for validation purposes. In addition, a validation plan/document is kept there as a living document. Whenever validation results become available, they will be added to the internal website for verification purposes.

Objectives

Detailed objective of the ICESTARS validation are:

to facilitate the validation of new algorithms/tools and modelling methodologies developed during the project

to support the integration of developed methodologies and algorithms/tools in the existing design frameworks of consortium partners, especially the industrial circuit simulators, via detailed reports on the implementation and pseudocode of the developedalgorithms/tools

to outline a set of recommendations for a future common software platform, which could enable exchange of ideas and/or algorithms between the partners without getting in the way of IP and proprietary source code.
