night run script using irun

eyal

Hi all

i was trying to to write c-shell script that runs a while loop and each iteration runs irun with -batch -exit option.

the problem is that in each test end the script get stuck in ncsim.

is there any way to configure ies through  irun to close itself and re-open in the next iteration ?

i will also be happy to another approach to preform this task(how you run night runs ?).

best regards Eyal

     Hi Eyal,

     

    In general people run regressions with emanager. Do you have a script you source in incisive simulator? If so, feel free to post it and we can have a look. Also, your irun script itself would be good to see. 

     

    Thanks,

    Hilmar

    Hi Hilmar

    i heard about emanager but never used it , does it Requires additinal license ? like vmanager.

    i  am not sourcing the script from the ies (i didnt knew there such an option) i am running it from terminal and its looks something like that :

    set index = $argv[1]
    echo "start" $index
    while ($index > 0)
            @ index = $index - 1
            echo $index
            irun  examples/pl354_smc_test.e -incdir /home/eyalm/comx/include -f /home/e
    yalm/comp_list -batch -top pl354_smc_31210_tb -access rwc -sntimescale 1ns/10ps -input all.tcl -exit -sn
    prerun " test -seed = random " -run  
    end

    thanks Eyal

     Hi Eyal,

     

    Yes emanager is vmanager and needs a license.

     

    With regards to your scripts, can you try exit as the last command in your all.tcl script?

    Note: if you have an IES (Incisive_Enterprise_Simulator) licence, then you get access to the regression runner and vPlan analysis features as part of that licence. You just have to start the tool with "vmanager -desktop". That avoids you having to buy a separate licence just for running regressions.
