Long startup for simulations using ADE-XL

Hi,

 

I was wondering why my ADE-XL sims were taking so long to run, and looking through the log showed me that a new Cadence icfb session is being started for each single run! That does seem a bit well ($%#*&%*&) when all that is needed is a Spectre run.

Is there any way to get the tool to merely start Spectre runs rather than entire Cadence sessions? It can't be something meant to rack up more licenses since Spectre licenses (which are really needed) are anyway far more expensive.

Thanks,

Vivek

     Hi Andrew,

     

    Thanks for replying. I didn't mean to suggest that there was a scam involved, but anyway I see the problem even if I don't understand why it is needed to launch a full cadence session per job.

    Anyway, playing with the linger time helps a bit (the default was 5 seconds). As our Cadence sessions take significantly more time than just 10 secs (lots of customization), I probably will check those links you suggest. However, that needs to wait. Our internal Cadence support is on vacation. So I cannot get the details needed to register at Cadence support.
