Ocean: Reduce Spectre verbosity

Not sure if this is the right forum to post this in. I'm starting to use ocean for parametric analyses and it seems to run a bit slower than using ADE. This thread from 2013 said reducing the CIW output from Spectre may speed up using ocean. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Can you give the URL to the older thread? Your link has ended up getting broken (I'm guessing something got mangled when you used the link button in the formatter?)

    I just want to remind myself what I said before (assuming it was me!)

    Andrew.

    Hi Matthew,

    Thanks - that helped jog my memory.

    Provided you're using IC616 ISR6 or later, you can add:

    envSetVal( "asimenv.misc" "includeSimLogInOCEAN" 'boolean nil)

    to the beginning of your OCEAN script (right at the beginning). This should suppress the output altogether. I was thinking "I really ought to write an article on this for Cadence Online Support". Turns out I already did - here.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
