optimizeRun() tutorial?

markbeck over 15 years ago

Does anyone out there know of a tutorial that shows how to use the optimizeRun command (and supporting commands)?

I'm trying to create an ocean script for running optimizations, but when I try to run it I'm getting errors..

e.g.: *Error* eval: undefined function - ocniOptVariables

Never heard of it, and it doesn't show up in the finder.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,
Optimization is entirely different in IC6.1.x. (Which is why I didn't "go there" in my last response...) :-)
The good news is Optimization is much better in IC6.1.x!

I recommend taking a look at the following document (Virtuoso Migration Guide)
http://support.cadence.com/wps/mypoc/cos?uri=deeplinkmin:DocumentViewer;src=pubs;q=/cicMigGuide/cicMigGuide6.1.4/5251to61.html

The "EDFM" capabilities (Corners, Monte Carlo analysis and Optimization) are no longer accessible from ADE L. You must use ADE XL to use Corners and Monte Carlo analysis, and ADE GXL to use optimization technology. The optimization technology is based upon capabilities that existed in NeoCircuit 3.4. The original ADE optimization algorithms and set-up are no longer supported.

You will want to read Chapter 2 on Circuit Optimization in the Virtuoso GXL User Guide before you even think about OCEAN.

Once you're comfortable with that.....For OCEAN, you'll want to check out OCEAN commands in XL mode

If you have not yet taken the IC6.1.X training classes through Cadence Educational Services, I recommend looking into them.

best regards,
