Does anyone know what's "simplex "tools , Can anyone introduce it ? Thanks
 

Simplex is a classic method for solving linear programming problems.
I think you can try google using "linear programming solver".

But actually simplex method is kind of simple you can even write a solver yourself. You may end up with looking at integer programming or more generally known as "knapsack problem". Use google to get more info.

Hope this helps.

hi,
As I know, simplex is acquired by cadence .and the tool from it are fire&ice, voltage storm, signal storm.
 

and substrate strom
 

Simplex now aquired by Cadenxx inside its VoltageStoxx EDA tools is used for IR drop
ground bounce simulation. You will get a graphical output after you inject enough current for
your simulation, say 500mA with VDD=3.3V and you will see a distribution of IR drop inside
your chip and you can check comparatively which part inside your chip is lacking of good
VDD/GND routing
