Run Options of ADE Assembler in Cadence Virtuoso

Senan

Hello

I would like to ask you about the Run Options in ADE Assembler as seen in the image below

Though I read the help but couldn't figure out the purpose of this option,

Actually, I am interested in any option that accelerates my simulation especially when I run Montecarlo or corner simulations, not sure if this can help... I usually use Job Setup to run different corners in parallel depending on the Max Jobs I set

Thank you in advance

Best Regards

    This option allows multiple Tests to run in parallel in lieu of series. Hence, if you have two tests defined as "Test_bench_test1" and "Test_bench_test2", with "Run in series" selected, test Test_bench_test1"  is simulated and, upon its completion, test Test_bench_test2"  is simulated. With the "Run in parallel" selected, both tests, Test_bench_test1" and Test_bench_test2" are simulated in parallel.

    Does this make sense Senan?

    Did you happen to view the Help section at URL:

    /tools/virtuoso/20.1.ISR21/doc/Explorer/chap8.html#MC_standard

    where you can set the number of iterations to that required for your statistic limit and not for a fixed number of iterations? This might save you simulation time.

    There are many other ways as well, but I am not familiar with the specifics of you simulation setup to provide any general comments - sorry!

    Dear Senan,

    You are, of course, most welcome! I was happy to read Andrew's response was also very helpful in explaining the Monte-Carlo job policy! His guidance and insight are so valuable to all of us!

    In all, I hope you are able to decrease the time required for your Monte Carlo simulations - that was your goal and hope you could!!

    Dear Shawn

    Thank you once again,

    I read both of the comments and indeed it boosted my MC simulation time and made advantages of the parallel simulation in multi multi-run

    I do appreciate your both help and wish you nice day

    Regards
