VCAR V11.2.41.500.6.68 hanging-up on command "route 10"

lawlag02

Hi Experts,

Sorry if I am in the wrong forum but I'll ask my question anyway. I wanted to execute Top level routing using vcar but I think the execution stops while at route command "pass 1 0f 10" with no error messages so I am clueless what could be the reason for this.

Before this happened I had a successful run using the same setup and do files.

I hope someone here could have some thoughts on these or experienced the same thing before. many thanks in advance.

best regards,

lrlsk

  • Hi Irlsk

    If there are other available machines, would you please try the same routing on it? Are there are changes in OS patches, etc on your machine?

  •  Hi Quek,

    what you said makes perfect sense. we have 6 remote machines dedicated for special tools and top level simulations so I was able to try out on three of them. The first to run the routing a bit more than an hour but on the third one it took only 15mins. So now I am sure that there was not a problem in my do file and constraint file. I am not sure what happened to my local machine because I have run routing on that before with even larger chip, the only thing that was done was changin the keyboard (before I was using Sun keyboard on Dell machine) so I changed the keyboard also to Dell.

    Many thanks again for your insight, it helped me lot.

     BR, lrlsk

     

  • Hi Irlsk

    Thanks for the follow-up. Sometimes IT might have upgraded some system patches and hence caused the problem. Perhaps you can run "checkSysConf" cmd on the machines to compare the patch numbers.

    Best regards
