Run ICFB with multi-process

Curiosity

Hi, All

I use Virtuoso LE, IC 5.1.41 & 6.1.

Does Virtuoso LE system provide multi-processing function?

If so, how can I use that?

Thanks.

  • What do you mean by "multi-processing function"? Your question is not very clear, unfortunately.

    What are you trying to achieve?

    Regards,

  • Dear Andrew, Thanks for your interest.

    I mean that I want to execute Virtuoso with Multi-processors (CPUs).

    I use multi-CPUs machine (Workstation), but only one CPU is activated when I work with Virtuoso.

    How can I use whole CPUs? I want to increase system speed and reduce time.

    Is it clear? ( I hope so :) )

    Thanks.

  • Making a program multi-threaded is actually quite a lot of work - and not all applications can really benefit from it. They have to be written to be able to do things in parallel, and obviously that requires things that can actually be done in parallel.

    Normal interactive use of Virtuoso is not particular such a case.

    We have taken advantage of multi-core technology in circuit simulation (Spectre Turbo and APS), the Virtuoso Space-based Router in IC61X, Physical Verification (Assura and PVS), and also increasingly things like the stream interfaces (again in the IC61X stream).

    So, some advances in later IC61 releases, and in the simulators. Is there a particular bottleneck that is slow for you that needs some attention?

    Best Regards,

    Andrew.
