Is there a setting to let multiple runs of transient noise run in parallel

The version IC6.1.8-64b.500.4

I am running transient noise and I specified 10 runs. From the output log file, I see that the 1st run takes a seed of 1 and the 2nd run takes a seed of 2. What surprises me is that these 10 runs dont in parallel. I dont think that is required.

Is there a setting or workaround to let them run in parallel?

    That's because this then uses a spectre native sweep analysis, and that doesn't have access to the job distribution capabilities within ADE. 

    Rather than turning on Multiple Runs, set the Noise seed to (say) VAR("ITERATION") and this will add a new variable in ADE. If this is ADE Explorer (or Assembler) you can set the ITERATION to 1:1:10 to sweep from 1 to 10, and based on your Setup->Job Setup you can control how many run in parallel.

    If using ADE L, then you'd have to go into distributed mode, and then do a Tools->Parametric Analysis to do the same kind of sweep. It's much easier in Explorer/Assembler though.

    Got it. I am using Assembler and it works like a charm.
