+Xyce is an open source, SPICE-compatible, high-performance analog circuit
+simulator, capable of solving extremely large circuit problems by supporting
+large-scale parallel computing platforms. It also supports serial execution on
+all common desktop platforms, and small-scale parallel runs on Unix-like
+systems. In addition to analog electronic simulation, Xyce has also been used
+to investigate more general network systems, such as neural networks and power
+grids.
+
+The Xyce Parallel Electronic Simulator is a SPICE-compatible circuit simulator,
+developed internally at Sandia National Laboratories and funded by the National
+Nuclear Security Administration's Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC)
+Campaign. In continuous development since 1999, Xyce is designed to run on
+large-scale parallel computing platforms, though it also executes efficiently on
+a variety of architectures, including single processor workstations. As a mature
+platform for large-scale parallel circuit simulation, Xyce supports standard
+capabilities available from commercial simulators, in addition to a variety of
+devices and models specific to Sandia's needs.
+
+The package is intalled at: /opt/Xyce
+Remember to set the library and path:
+
+PATH=$PATH:/opt/Xyce/bin
+
+For 32-bit:
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/Xyce/lib
+
+For 64-bit:
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/Xyce/lib64
+
+To run the suite test:
+# cd /opt/Xyce/Xyce_Regression-6.3/TestScripts
+# ./run_xyce_regression
+
+For parallel simulation trilinos must be compiled with MPI.
+
+Additonal requirements:
+ - MPI (openmpi/mpich)
+ - parMETIS
