Hello Brian, Thanks for the information. I am a VLSI designer and my interest is to model electronic system and my focus is continuous time and discrete time signal path. I am using GSL with extremely high reliability over years. I find extremely good quality random numbers here. Other than that I am user of GSL while I analyze signal quality. I am a supporter of C/C++ Based system modeling and I had already reduced usage of Matlab in my design. In fact now-a-days I use matlab as a plotter. All possible because of SystemC and GSL. While I design algorithm, my main usage of systemc is it's data type access and GSL for analysis. In case I need to see the behavior of CT domain I need to re write them using the SystemC-AMS. This is a cumbersome work at an early stage which I think can be avoided. I see this can be avoided and can be implemented in untimed model if by some means I can have state space analysis and modeling capabilities ( I can define continuous time response with it). State Space representation is indirect way of using ODE solver. My question is that, do you have any plan to incorporate SS analysis capabilities in near future. If so, people like me will be very glad and obliged. The simple reason I want it from GSL guys because of the reliability on which I have trust and I want a single library which can address most of my requirenents. Feel free to mail me. Earnestly Awaiting your Response, Regards, Sumit
