Simulations never proceed over "generate netlist..." in monte carlo

skylarjs

Hello everyone,

 I am attempting to run monte carlo on a design. The issue is, I can set everything up to distribute to 10 jobs, use APS, and other high performance options, but all of the job logs stagnate at "generate netlist...".

 If I open ADE and go: simulation -> netlist -> create, it is almost instant.

 The design may be rather large (I am not sure...) at around 3k transistors. The issue being, I wouldn't mind if it took a long time to run, but the simulation never leaves it's "preparing" state. It stays at: "running 0/x". I have given it 24 hours to start.

 Has anyone encountered this before? Liscensing is not an issue.

 

Thanks!

  • Hi,

    Two potential problems I can think of and have seen at other customers: 1) does the netlist creation process pop up a form with a warning/error message?  Since the netlisting in ADE XL happens in the non-graphical ICRP process, it is possible that there is a form being generated in this process that is expecting some user response.  2) is there a large number of devices listed in the Specify Instances for Mismatch form?  There is an existing CCR (1072567) which reports a problem with a limited string length with prevents the netlist from being created if there are many devices specified for mismatch.

     Hope this helps,

    TOM
