I have seen many public simulation benchmark results that are almost meaningless. The benchmark results only give the size of the circuits, e.g. # of MOSFETS and RC's, and simulation time. Why this is meaningless? It is because for the same circuit, one can simualte 1ns or 1ms transient time. The simulation time will differ by orders of magnitude. Then there is also the computer difference. However, now this difference is probably not that large.
I would like to give some GSIM benchmark data that is much more meagingful. Hope that others will release their benchmark result the same way in the future. Then users will know exactly how fast the simulator, rather than reading meaningless marketing stuff.
