Magma's FineSim SPICE is the star of this video, which sets to music the advantages of this circuit simulation software product. This video is dedicated to the memory of Jasmine Moore, who assisted her father, K.T. Moore of Magma Design Automation, in its production. Jasmine left us only 11 days before its premiere at the Design Automation Conference. She was 18 years old, just graduated from high school and was planning to begin college in the fall to study journalism. As her father K.T. put it, "Jasmine went home to be with the Lord. We will all miss Jasmine's warmth and great spirit, but we should find comfort in the knowledge of where she lives now, which is in heaven with the Father."

SPICE, SPICE Baby
Lyrics by K.T. Moore

SPICE, SPICE, baby; FineSim SPICE, SPICE baby (1X)
Yo, I'm back, let me kick my credentials,
DJ MOS-FET, the essential,
chip designer known around the world
Kickin it with the FineSim SPICE GIRLZ!
We're here, with good intentions
Telling you about, our new invention
FineSim SPICE, it came from Magma
If you haven't tried it, Yo, You hafta

No matter what type of circuit you design
This product's gonna blow your mind
Analog circuits make simulators stutter
FineSim cuts thru them like butter
Memory designs brings your tool to its knees
But FineSim handles them with ease
If you have these types of problems
Let us show you how FineSim solves them

SPICE, SPICE, baby; FineSim SPICE, SPICE baby (2X)

So, you're waiting weeks for something to simulate
Take too long, can't even validate
In time, to meet your schedule
You don't make it, Yo its dreadful
No results and no correlation
Now you've come to the realization
When you do you get disgusted
Cuz you know your chip is busted

Yo, it's just one of your problems
Long run times, - we solve them
FineSim SPICE on multi-CPUs
When this came out it made big news
Now, you can beat the clock
Simulate chips that the others can not
Verify your circuit's behavior
FineSim SPICE, yeah that's the flava

Other SPICE tools, Yo! They're old school
Still using them? You've been played FOOL
There's no design that we can't handle
We work faster than lighting a candle
Looking for problems to destroy
Design killers, like transient noise
No one else can solve your problem
Check out just how FineSim solves them

SPICE, SPICE, baby; FineSim SPICE, SPICE baby (2X)

Watch out! your chip's leaking power
Hundreds of mega watts, per hour
No good! Now your chip useless
That much power you'll be blowing fuses
Go ahead, and explain to your boss
How you're going to recover the costs
Sorry about your dead device
But you should have used some FineSim SPICE

Try to do statistical analysis
Causes analytical paralysis
Other simulators have a major stigma
Takes them forever to get to 3 sigma
FineSim has some new technology
Shock and awe your design methodology
Created to improve your design flow
100 times faster with our Fast Monte Carlo,

[But wait!] I ain't done you see
What about design reliability?
Voltage drop and electro-migration
Got more bugs than a cock-roach nation
Now your chip is back from the FAB
With so many problems, it needs REHAB
All the errors them bugs created
With FineSim SPICE they'll be exterminated

SPICE, SPICE, baby; FineSim SPICE, SPICE baby (2X)

Hope you've enjoyed our "technical-lyrical"
FineSim SPICE - an EDA miracle
It's the first parallel simulator
Everybody else are just wanna-be imitators
They're out dated, way too old school
You're better off designing with a slide rule
FineSim SPICE, that's the name
It's the brand new player that's changed the game

SPICE, SPICE, baby; FineSim SPICE, SPICE baby (2X)

Word to your manager...
