possible to do Analog simulation using High speed clusters and Parallel processing?

AJ123654
Hello All,

I mostly use scripts to do Spectre simulation. We here have a high speed cluster and we would like to leverage it to reduce the speed time of simulation. So I have decided to join a course which uses openMPI or C ( not really sure about the language ) to parallelize the code.

Does anybody here have any experience on using cadence spectre simulation on high speed clusters? or if anybody can give me feedback on how useful this course would with respect to cadence spectre simulation.

Cheers

  •  Unfortunately I am not in a possition to influence decisions on License. But thanks for giving your feedback.

     I was thinking more on the lines of parallelizing data independent loops. Most of the time for Corner simulations, we end up running the loop for different corners which can be parallelized. Each iteration can be thrown on a seperate core and then the data integrated. I realize that Cadence does have support for distributed computing which can be used in such situations. Maybe I got to explore that.

    Any idea if SKILL is compatible with C? as these languages are used to work wth Clusters. I guess this is a very long shot!

     Cheers
