ADE-XL - How to make use of licenses more efficient?

Pedro73

Hi,

I am simulating hundreds of corners for more than 10 tests on ADE-XL and I need to optimize the use of licenses as much as possible.

When running tests sequentially in series, all my licenses are taken from the first test in the stack and I have to wait to the test to finish so I the next one can run.

I try solving this running simulations in parallel.

Is there any other method available, as this will reduce the time each simulation takes to run ?

As I launch these simulations during night, launching them in series is not an option, since if one of them gets stuck all the others will never start and I will arrive in the morning and see that all the simulations didn't even start.

Is there any method which allows me to launch simulations in series, but one gets stuck during a t amount of time, the simulation is automatically canceled ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Pedro

    How about Options -> Job Setup -> Simulation Run Timeout?
