ADE Explorer spends excessive time "evaluating"

NickA
NickA over 6 years ago

When I kick off a multi-run simulation in ADE explorer (for example a Monte Carlo run), it regularly spends an enormous amount of time where it reports that it is "evaluating", I'm uisng a machine with 12 cores and have "max jobs" set to 8, and it is currently at 844 seconds of evaluation. The same simulation run in spectre, or as a single run in ADE explorer is able to netlist and run in <20s. What is the tool doing during this time, and how can I get it to speed up?

    Sometimes it also spends long times "pending" or "starting" before it gets to "evaluating".

    Please contact customer support at http://support.cadence.com . There are a lot of moving parts in play here and a lot of possible reasons which would need detailed inspection of your setup to uncover (potentially). Doing that via the forums would be pretty hard.
