Processing raw Spectre Monte Carlo data ?

MarkGr15

I am using OceanXL (within ADEXL created scripts) to kick off Monte Carlo simulations. I would like to be able to post process the data myself, to be able to calculate the mean, sigmas etc... 

Is the raw data available for this, and how is it organized? I am having a hard time deciphering the file structure etc....

I do see the results listed in an output log, when I add " -log ocean_montecarlo_output.log" as a an option to the command line that I use to kick off my scripts.

The upshot is I want to be able to find the raw data in the output directory, and post process the measured data.

I am using IC6.1.6-64b.500.9.  

spectre -W  => sub-version  13.1.1.049

thanks

    Mark,

    A couple of approaches.

    There are some files that get generated for legacy reasons called mcdata and mcparam. In current versions, if you have a run directory called Ocean.6 (for example) then these will be under psf/<testName>/monteCarlo and summarize the entire results for that test.

    You then could use my SKILL code in solution 11026072

    to read these files and do analysis on it. I've not used this for a while - I wrote it originally for IC51 (or even earlier) and something appears to be slightly broken - I'll look at it on Monday (it seems to get the number of samples wrong in my experiments).

    The other alternative is to use the axlReadHistoryResDB API. This returns an object for all the scalar results data, and you can then collect all the scalar results yourself. ADE XL (and OCEAN XL) store the evaluated results of the expressions into a database, and this API is a way to get at that database.

    So more later - would do it today, but I have to dash...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
