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!

  •  Hey Tom,

     Thanks for the input. Number 2) may be the issue. I am specifying around 1k instances so the list is rather large. I am currently doing simulations on a reduced size design and using statistical methods to extrapolate to the full design which should be sufficient. I will look into what you mentioned in 1.).

     Thanks!
