Enter a computer program called SPICE (simulation program for integrated circuit evaluation), which was developed at the University of California, Berkeley, in the 1970s. SPICE allowed engineers to analyze their electronic circuits and predict, more or less accurately, how they would work before they were built. There would always be bugs to iron out, but at least the program pointed chip designers in the right direction...
