How to pause a Monte-Carlo simulation run and release license

Svilen64

Hi,

I am running monte-carlo simulation, say 10 points in a run in ADE Assembler. Is it possible to pause one or a few of the running points and release the licenses? More importantly, is it possible to restart the paused point from the exact time they were paused at?

Thanks

    Hi Andrew,

    1. I have ICADVM18.1-64b
    2. for the kill I get the pid from the spectre.log file, at the top of the file
    3. it is not really an error, but a warning. It says:
    *Warning* envSetVal: Can't set the value of variable 'lsuspEnvOverridesState' in tool[.partition]. 'spectre.envOpts' - it has not been registered.

    Thanks
    Svilen

    OK, you truncated the version number so didn't give the sub version. I know however if it's ICADVM18.1 and not ICADVM20.1 then it must be between the base and ISR13 (with .500.13 at the end). The lsuspEnvOverridesState was added in ISR17 (so with .500.17 on the end) as outlined in the article mentioned above.

    I'd have thought it would be better to suspend the ICRP by using Right Mouse->Suspend over the icon in the Run Summary, and then that passes it onto Spectre. You can then Resume in the same place - no need to look up process ids. That said, ADE should really detect when the process was resumed - but maybe it was broken in the older version y you're using.

    I am sorry about missing the last part. It is ICADVM18.1-64b.500.9. So yes, looks like old.
