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

    Thanks! I can imagine some such thing happening, as I am perhaps one of the only 2 people using this tool here as far as I know.

    At present, I am setting linger time much higher. But on the same note, is there any way to change the default settings which are loaded by ADE-XL upon startup? I always need to change these things like linger time and the numberof history entries to be saved etc. when I first start ADE-XL?

     

    Thanks,

     Vivek
