How to auto-manage spectre turbo

jugemu1234

Hi,

 We have short spectre tokens in our group. So is there any specific way to run simulation in preferrably turbo mode but automatically switch to non-turbo mode when token is out of availability.

 Thanks,

Parents

  • I entered: 

     envSetVal("spectre.envOpts" "licQueueTimeOut" 'string "0")

     In the CIW window and then ran a sim with a transient, pss, and pnoise.  The transient ran ok, but the pss and pnoise aborted because they couldn't get the extra license (we have 6 and only 1 was available.  Here's the messages I get:

    Notice from spectre.
        Waiting for available license for the Virtuoso(R) Spectre-RF option.
        Waiting for available license for the Virtuoso(R) Spectre-RF option.
        Waiting for available license for the Virtuoso(R) Spectre-RF option.
        Waiting for available license for the Virtuoso(R) Spectre-RF option.
        Waiting for available license for the Virtuoso(R) Spectre-RF option.
            Further occurrences of this notice will be suppressed.
    Error found by spectre.
        ERROR (CMI-2102): License for the SpectreRF option could not be obtained.

     More licenses are available today, so it's not as criitical, but it would be nice if it would wait indefinitely.  It's also impossible to test if there are enough licenses....

    I'm running:

    MMSIM_01.20.594_lnx86

    IC-614_06.14.508_lnx86

    Thanks,
