Package name : flooxs Version : v2022 Upstream Contact: Thomas Weingartner <t.weingart...@ufl.edu> URL : http://www.flooxs.ece.ufl.edu/index.php/Installation_from_Debian_package#Install_the_package License : Custom, license is included in package Programming Lang: Tcl/Tk, C/C++ Description : The Florida Object-Oriented Process/Device/Reliability/Superconductor Simulator (FLOOXS) is an open source TCAD tool. FLOOXS is a Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) tool used for semiconductor process modeling and semiconductor device modeling that will descretize and solve a set of partial and ordinary differential equations on a 1, 2 or 3D mesh using numerical methods such as the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the Finite Volume Method (FVM). FLOOXS is built in C++, and uses several well-known math packages such as BLAS, LAPACK, and SuiteSparse to handle the linear algebra. The user-interface is command-line tcl (tool control language), a scripting language, with additional FLOOXS-specific Alagator commands added in. This package is one of a small number of tools that provide an open source TCAD platform. This package is not a dependency for other packages and no other package provides similar functionality to my knowledge. We are a small team of developers, but maintaining this package should not be an issue since we release infrequent updates and are not used as a dependency for any other packages. Getting flooxs into the debian package system (and ultimately ubuntu) will allow students ease of install for educational purposes.
