Why there are always errors during Monte Carlo simulation

littleapricot

Hi,

I run into such issues when I ran Monte Carlo simulation in a distributed server system.

The errors always show up in pairs and in the same sequence, e.g.:

Iteration 10 failed ...... cannot open file ".../psf/10"

Iteration 11 failed......Simulator failed to complete the simulation. Error found by spectre during monte carlo simulation "mc1"......

After the simulation is done, we cannot open output log for each iteration. Nor can we "plot" the curves for each iteration. However, if I use "calculator" to plot the signals, it works and show the curves from all the iterations simultaneously.

Also, if I try to rerun the error points. The screen will "hold on", just become blank and no response for any action. So that I have to "xkill" the windows and restart the simulation setup.

Could you please let us know what are the solutions? Thanks.

 

Best,

Ming
