 HI All,

 Newly I made PVS drc & lvs and QRC setup for new technology(gf28nm).

 PVS version - Version        : 12.1.1-p076

 QRC Version        : 10.1.0-s231

 

When I'm running PVS - QRC through QRC menu, It was failed and showing error like..,


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Narendra,

    It looks as if you're using a 32-bit OS (although probably a RHEL6 flavour - you didn't say - given the kernel subversion). Generally speaking we don't support 32-bit OS for recent releases of the software, so the best thing to do is to update to a 64-bit OS.

    I took a quick look, and initially thought by setting $CDS_AUTO_64BIT to "none" or "NONE" you could force QRC to run in 32-bit mode (the default for QRC is 64-bit. However, it appears that on RHEL6.1 and RHEL6.3 (i.e. the same region of kernel versions that you're using - RHEL6.3 is kernel  2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64) it always seems to run shapeServer in 64-bit mode even when CDS_AUTO_64BIT is set (the "qrc" executable is OK, but not shapeServer). On RHEL5.8 setting this successfully runs shapeServer in 32-bit mode.

    So you really should run on a 64-bit OS. This can be seen in our platform support matrix.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
