MAPP: The Berkeley Model and Algorithm Prototyping Platform

We present the Berkeley Model and Algorithm Prototyping Platform (MAPP), a MATLAB®-based framework for conveniently and quickly prototyping device compact models and simulation algorithms. MAPP´s internal code structuring, which differs markedly from that of Berkeley SPICE and related simulators, allows users to add new devices with only minimal knowledge of simulation algorithms, and vice-versa. We describe MAPP´s structuring and provide an overview of its capabilities. MAPP is available as open source under the GNU Public License.
