output log shows sim finish, but assembler result still runing

Hi,

This cand of hangs can be tricky to debug, especially when your simulation dumps a 80GB database which may indeed get ADE Assembler in a post-simulation processing step for a while. An hour sunds a bit long though, I'm not sure why would that take a long time. Your best bet is to file a ticket to Cadence and make sure your provide some info like:

• Your Cadence Version, there might be bugs in previous versions that may be fixed now
• Are you running Spectre, AMS ?
• Are you running Monte Carlo Analysis ?
• Are you running locally or on a remote Machine using LSF or other load sharing balance software ?

Also, you can use some Linux command to provide information about your Virtuoso job, here they are (You can also copy them from here)

// Get the process ID of your Virtuoso Job. 
// This may return multiple numbers if you have many Virtuoso
// sessions running. Make sure you pick the righ one. You can also get 
// your Virtuoso PID with SKILL function ipcGetPid() from the CIW
Linux> ps -e | grep virtuoso
>>> 14265 pts/1    00:04:24 virtuoso
>>> 26320 pts/4    00:02:37 virtuoso

// I'll be using PID  14265 from here
// Print the stack trace using pstack or gstack
// It takes a few seconds for pstack/gstack commands to complete
// Share the files with Cadence 
Linux> pstack 14265 > /tmp/pstack_virtuoso_14265
Linux> cat /tmp/pstack_virtuoso_14265
Linux> gstack 14265 > /tmp/gstack_virtuoso_14265
Linux> cat /tmp/gstack_virtuoso_14265

// Trace system calls and signals. Let it run for a few seconds 
// them hit Ctrl-C in your terminal to interrupt the jobs
Linux> strace -p 14265 -o /tmp/strace_virtuoso_14265

Hello Riad, 

    My cadence version is IC6.1.8-64b.500.5

    Simulator is spectre

    No MC sim

    transient sim using APS, spread = 8.

As Riad suggested, please contact customer support. Debugging this through the forums is going to be challenging as it's really hard to see what the precise nature of your simulation setup is. Just the answers you provided above aren't enough to figure out the problem.

Andrew.
