Number of icfb executables running

mims

When I have 10 Cadence executables running I am not able to open an 11th one. Is this some operating system constraint, a Cadence constraint, or some local issue of mine?

 

Thanks!

     How much physical and swap memory do you have on that machine?  Just launching (IC6.1 virtuoso in my case) takes up ~100MB.  Start opening any kind of design data in each of those session and you're going to get to ~200MB per session pretty quickly.  If you don't have enough swap space you're going to run out pretty quickly.
