Abstract

This paper reports on the Semiconductor Simulation Hub, a working, network-based virtual laboratory that allows geographically distributed users to share and run existing tools via standard web browsers (“http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/labs/punch”). The paper describes the capabilities of the Hub, briefly discusses the associated software infrastructure, and elaborates on the Hub´s applications in education, research, and industry. Finally, directions of further development are mentioned
