vmsUpdateCellViews takes long time to finish

Aarbuz

Hi everyone,

I'm using the function vmsUpdateCellViews in a SKILL script which aims to update and generate files (netlist.oa, data.dm, etc.) for each cell for a functional view.


The script is working correctly. However, I notice that it takes about 40 seconds to update a single cell. Is this how long it usually takes? Or is there something else at play here, like licensing check in and check out times?


By my calculations, it would take me about 5 straight days to finish running the script. I'm looking to speed it up as much as I can.

I apologize if this is more suited towards contacting customer support.

I'm using Cadence Virtuoso IC6.1.7-64b.500.6.

Sincerely,

Andrey

    Andrey,

    It shouldn't take 40 seconds - I wouldn't expect that. I don't think it particularly should expend time on licensing either, as far as I'm aware. This is one for customer support. Surprised you have 10,000 cells to do this for (seems rather a lot), but 40 seconds is much more than I'd expect anyway.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
