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,

    Dave,

    I don't know what MMSIM version that actually is, because the number doesn't make sense. "spectre -W" will tell you (or look in the output log file from the simulation).

    I tried in OCEAN and it worked fine. I would suggest you take a look at the runSimulation script being created in the netlist directory and see what the command line options actually passed to spectre are.

    Do you have the envSetVal() before the simulator('spectre) call? In my case it seemed OK if I did it afterwards, but I wasn't using the IC version you are - I could quite expect it requires it to be set before the OCEAN "session" starts - because that's when the cdsenv settings are imported into the session.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
