ADE XL remains in "pending" state

david0526

hello,

i decided to try ADE XL as i wanted to run temp/corner sweeps.  i was able to set everything up, but when i start the simulation, it just sits in "pending" state until the sim times-out.  has anyone encountered a similar issue, or has suggestions i can try?

thanks in advance for the help. 

  • Dear David0526,

     There is not of information to go by, but a few thoughts come to mind:

    1. Are you sure your jobs are not pending due to a license issue? In other words, if Cadence cannot get a license to start a job, it will time out at the time out setting you have specified.

    2. There is a check box in the Options->Job Setup menu to start jobs immediately. Is that checked?

    3. The various time outs are programmable. I've attached a copy of the set I use that start to submit jobs to an LSF immediately if it helps.

  • smlogan,

    thank you for your help and comments.  the "start jobs immediately" box is checked, so i have a feeling this is probably an internal licensing/env_setup issue.

     

  • Hi

    Were you ever able to figure out what a potential solution to this was? I think I'm experiencing a similar issue; I'm able to set up and execute single runs but whenever I want to sweep a variable all the spooled up processes get stuck in "pending" and time out.

    Thanks

    Probably the best option is to contact customer support. ADE Assembler (in recent IC617/ICADV123 ISRs) has a Tools->Debug form to allow you to turn on various debug switches - but that's not there for ADE XL.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
