Parallel simulation with Cadence

Monady

Hey guys,

I am running a simulation that takes forever to be completed! It has some switched-cap circuits inside and currently I use moderate simulation and ASP is also enabled, with 16 threads and 24 cores. I wonder if there is any option to break the simulation into smaller parts and use several computers to run parallel simulation.

 Thanks

  •  Hi Marc,

     Thanks for your post. I think what you're suggesting is using periodic steady state analysis, but this method could be applied just when the circuit has steady state condition. For a switched cap circuit alone, it's possible to use PSS, but if it's used in a bigger circuit like delta sigma converter which has no steady state condition, PSS cannot converge. Isn't it like this?
