spectre turbo in ocean

Hi,

Ive been trying to run ocean script in turbo mode. Ive generated oceanScript.ocn first and observed following statement.

option ( ?categ 'turboOpts
        'turboSwitch t
        'errorLevel "Do not override"
        'mtOption "Auto"
        'psrOption "Default"
)

I can run but it does not look fast enough. Token is eaten only one by spectre.

Can you suggest me to turn on turbo mode in ocean?

 Thanks,

    Hi,

    I see a gap between option and the opening bracket. Gap shouldn’t be there. Otherwise, the syntax looks fine.

    option( ?categ 'turboOpts …..

    Which version are you using? “icms –W” should get the exact version.

    Also, check for OS patches.

    %> checkSysConf  -r

    This will list few releases like MMSIM7.1 or IC5.1 or IC6.1 etc. Pick one and enter the command like below

    %> checkSysConf IC5.1

    If it fails, you need to get the missing patches installed.

    Regards,
    Ramkumar

    Hi,

    This could probably be a code bug which could have got fixed in later versions. If you have a different IC version installed, please try with that and see if it helps resolve the issue.

    I tried in latest versions (IC5.1.41.500.6.140 and IC6.1.4.485) and don’t see this issue at my end.
