Restrict ICPR SGE Job to only run 1 simulation point (ADE Assembler)

jehh

Hi,

I would like to restrict ICPR to launch a new job for each simulation point - I tried following this: https://support.cadence.com/apex/ArticleAttachmentPortal?id=a1Od0000000w6KOEAY&pageName=ArticleContent

However, this doesnt seem to work with ADE Assembler? Is there a way to do this?

I realize this will add overhead to my simulation run, however we are experiencing some undesired effects on our SGE when a single job is kept for days/weeks on ends, and would like experiment with this setup instead.

BR,

Christian

Version info:

Virtuoso 6.1.8-isr16

  • Hi Christian,

    Are you using "LSCS" or "ICRP" mode? If using LSCS, you don't even need to change the job policy - you can just set:

    envSetVal("maestro.distribute" "pointLifetime" 'int 1)

    (before starting Assembler). This doesn't work in ICRP mode.

    I tested in ICRP mode the approach taken in the article, and if using the SKILL way to set the pointlifetime property, I did have to also do:

    axlSaveJobPolicy("Andrew Policy") ; or whatever your policy is called

    and then either restart Assembler, or stop all running jobs and let them submit again. That seemed to work fine (admittedly I'm using ISR17 not 16, but I don't think this is something likely to have changed).
