How to know the END of a Spectre Simulation fired in the Linux terminal.

RFStuff

Dear All,

I fired a Spectre Simulation in Linux terminal. (spectre filname.scs).

It ran successfully, Is there any way (like some command) by which  we can detect the end of the successful or un-successful simulation run ?

Kind Regards,

  • Well, the end is easy - you wait until the job has finished - the process exits when complete. Whether it was successful or not depends on what type of "success" you are talking about. You can use the exit status ($status or $? depending on the shell you're using) - anything other than 0 means a severe error occurred. For some things, e.g. a convergence failure during an analysis, it's a bit trickier. You could use:

    spectre +logstatus input.scs

    and then in the input.raw directory (or wherever you have the -raw specified), there will be a file called "logStatus" which records each analysis that starts and how it ends. For example:

    8:57:29 AM, Mon Jan 27, 2020 ac START
    8:57:29 AM, Mon Jan 27, 2020 ac FAIL
    8:57:29 AM, Mon Jan 27, 2020 elements START
    8:57:29 AM, Mon Jan 27, 2020 elements PASS

    That's a bit simpler to parse than the normal spectre log file.

    Andrew.
