Abstract
We present SPECS, a SystemC-based tool for fast, fs-accurate large-scale photonic circuit simulation. Through its event-driven nature, SPECS excels in sparse activity applications like neuromorphic computing. Even in unfavorable scenarios, it is faster than other simulators by orders of magnitude
