Bedichek Co-Chairpersons of Supervisory Committee: Professor Henry M. Levy Professor Edward D. Lazowska Department of Computer Science and Engineering A central problem preventing the wide application of distributed memory multicomputers has been their high price, especially for small installations. High prices are due to long design times, support for scaling to thousands of nodes, and high production costs. This thesis demonstrates a new approach that combines some carefully chosen restrictions on scaling with a software-intensive methodology.

This free version provides a number of features used in the full CADSTAR version, only limited by the number of components (max 50) and pins (max 300). Electronic hobbyists, Students and Evaluators use CADSTAR Express for designing Schematics and Printed Circuit Boards (PCB). This guide will assist you in detail on how to make use of CADSTAR’s features to design your next project. • We will start by showing you a hand drawn electronic circuit and transforming it into a professional schematic design. • We will guide you through the process of creating an error-free transfer of data to a PCB board design, and then move to component placement and wire routing. • You will then move to the CAM output process where you will generate the necessary artwork, reports and files needed to get your PCB built by your preferred fabrication vendor. • We will guide you through the process of creating schematic symbols, component and parts for future CADSTAR libraries. Upon completion of this guide, you will be ready to move into higher variations of CADSTAR, offering features and constraints for High Speed signal applications and simulation as well as 3D Electro- Mechanical collaboration. To provide you with additional “how to” information, click on the camera icons for demonstration videos. (internet connection required) The videos are for demonstration purposes only.

  • EPW Quick Start Guide
    ECAD Part Wizard (EPW) Quick Start Guide The ECAD Part Wizard has been developed by RS Components and SamacSys to provide a range of highly accurate ECAD models, offering schematic symbol and PCB footprint information for electronic components. The ECAD Part Wizard (EPW) gives engineers full control of the symbol fracturing and symbol pin positions (left, right, top, bottom). ECAD Symbols & footprints can be downloaded directly from within the EPW application or from manufacturer and RS Component websites around the world. These .epw files are then loaded into the ECAD Part Wizard. If the model you require is not yet available you may request it from within EPW and it will be created for you, free of charge. The ECAD Part Wizard is available free of charge, look out for the EPW icon: Having fractured the symbol and placed the pins as required models may be exported from EPW to any of the supported ECAD tool formats: Developed by: Downloading the EPW Application You will need EXCEL 2007 or Newer to run the ECAD Part Wizard The ECAD Part Wizard application does not require special permissions to install. Microsoft Excel 2007 (or later) must be installed on your PC for EPW to run. The download file has a “.ex_” extension as some web browsers do not allow a “.exe” to download. The ECAD Part Wizard application may be downloaded by clicking on the following link: Please: CLICK HERE If you cannot access the download file please email us at [email protected] and we will send you a copy (2Mb).
