ADEXL parallel tests

manoharbn

Hi,

I am aware of starting multiple simulations in ADEXL (Options -> Jobsetup). However, I wanted to change some circuit variables and run multiple parallel tests, but not all permutations. For ex, if there are 3 variables, x , y and z with each being assigned to say 5 values, i would have 125 tests if i ran all of them, but i want only a subset of those. So I am setting x to say 3 values while y & z are a particular value etc. 

So this basically means, I will have to start a simulation 3 times. However, I cannot run the next one while one of them is completing. Is there a way to start multiple tests at the same time (without creating new testbenches?)

    There’s several ways of doing this. One would be to list out the different values you want each parameter to have - for example:
    x: 1,2,3,4
    y: 4,5,6,7
    z: 8,8,9,9

    then select all three variables and use Right Mouse->Group as Parametric Set. It would then do 4 simulations rather than 4*4*4 - essentially it will sweep through them all together rather than orthogonally.

    Another way would be to use ADE Assembler. In this case you can use Right Mouse->Run Preview in the space to the right of the “Results” tab (or the Run->Run Preview menu item) and then hit the white arrow in an orange circle - in recent IC617 versions there’s a checkbox next to each combination so you can control which run and which don’t. This feature is not in ADE XL - only in the newer ADE Assembler.

    Just hoping I’ve understood your requirement!

    Regards,

    Andrew
