APS++ for AMS mode (NOT in spectre mode)

RFStuff

Dear All,

I am running a transient simulation in AMS mode.

The blocks are written in Verilog and they have real variables too.

Is it possible to enable APS++ for this simulation ?

Kind Regrads,

  • ++aps can certainly be enabled for AMS simulations (in ADE it's on the High Performance Simulation Options form).

    However, APS or ++aps is only going to help if you have electrical nodes in the circuit; if the circuit is entirely using Verilog and real-number modelling approaches, then only the event-driven engine is involved and APS/APS++ only impacts the analog solver (which wouldn't be used in that case).

    Not sure that answered your question, because it wasn't entirely clear to me what the full context of your design is.

    Dear Andrew,

    Thanks a lot. That indeed answers my question. My schematic is fully event driven and there is no analog/electrical node involved.

    However, my line of thought was that in APS++ all the calculations for a given event will be shared parallelly  between the threads in order to speed up the simulation.
