top-notch computer to run Assura

RRibeiro
Hello all, from a while I'm having problem with Assura running times, crashing, etc, etc, etc .... and I'm seeking some advice in building a good computer to reduce all this issues. ( from memory, CPU, graphic card, swap memory, etc,etc,etc ) Just to have an idea of the layout size 25612um x 32612um .... Thanks for your help Kind Regards

  •  Hi Zach, RRibeiro,

    concerning the size of the design, it seems as if it's size is defined just to fit into the field size of
    a DUV-scanner. Besides of that, some fabs do quite strange things to expose chips that are
    much larger than the field of their litho-equipment, keyword "stitching" for large area sensors.

    Back to your hardware-requirements and optimization:

    What are your current environment and settings?

    On a design like your's, using hierarchical features of assura should strongly improve
    performance.
    I assume you don't need the absolute highend, do you have access to other machines
    just for evaluation purposes before buying the wrong configuration?

    What about a quad- or hex-core @ around 3GHz, 12..16GB RAM?

    kind regards
