Running APS with VerilogA and bsource modules

fomin

In Virtuoso Accelerated Parallel Simulator User Gide I found the following statement:

When running APS, the VERILOGA and BSOURCE modules are forced to be compiled. Because of this, setting the value CDS_ADHLCMI_ENABLE NO has no effect. Also, the command line arguments -ahdlcom and -bsrccom don't produce any result.

Does that mean APS doesn't support VERILOGA and BSOURCE modules? Some foundries use BSOURCE for resistor models. (TSMC 0.18u, for example)

    There are already ways of doing that with Distributed Processing in ADE L (and ADE XL), and in fact those can work across machines so do not have to even be tied to the same machine. So it doesn't strictly need to be done in the simulator.

    That said, we are always looking at other ways of taking advantage of multi-threading, and this is one of a number of areas that might be considered for the future.

    Best Regards,

    Andrew.
