How can I specify the number of cores RTL compiler uses for processing?

mamsadegh

 Hi

 In soc encouter , we can simply use 

setMultiCpuUsage

command to specify the number of cpu cores we want to be used by encouter. 

for example on a system with a CPU of 4 cores you can enable all of them. 

(I am talking about local cpu cores, i'm not interested in network ones)

 how can i do the same in rc?

does rc automatically uses all of the available cpu cores in the local system?

thanks. 

  •  By default, license feature RTL_Compiler_Ultra can do 2 threads and are enabled by default. Beyond that you have to enable manually using super_thread_servers attribute

     For example

     

    set_attr super_thread_servers {my_host my_host my_host}  /

     will spawn 3 threads on server my_host. Note that threads are lighter processe

     alternatively you can use something like

      set_attr super_thread_servers [string repeat "localhost " $number_cpus] /

    with similar results. As you can imagine there a number of other options to support network resources, load balancing applications, or simply customize to your needs.

     

    hope this helps,
