APS, Multi-threading, High-Performance Simulation...

aditeman

Andrew,

 

I am a bit confused with all of the high performance simulation options in ADE-XL/GXL.

I am using IC 6.1.5.506 with  MMSIM 10.11.200

On ADE I have:

  1. "Options->Job Setup->Max Jobs"  

   2.  "Options->Run Options-> Run In"

  3.  "High-Performance Simulation->Mode, Multithreading options, Affinity"

  4. "Options->Analog->Multithreading Options"

Maybe others...

 

What is the up to date way to run my simulations as fast as possible?

The main reason I'm asking is that I've had some problems when setting things such as APS + Max Jobs=8. For example, I've had these settings and sent a small simulation with a few corners and after waiting 10 minutes it still hadn't started. In general, it seems to take minutes until simulations start running sometimes (and then they run very fast).

Any suggestions/explanations?

 

Thanks,

 

ADi
