Insufficient memory

Mohana
Mohana over 15 years ago

I am trying to do parametric analysis on inverter using the ocean script where in i will be collecting my data points in a .cvs file.

But when ever i try the ocean script, after few iterations it always stops and gives me this error of insufficent memory. 

I have pasted the error that i get.

 Fatal error found by spectre.
    FATAL: Failed to created rechecking thread!
    FATAL: Failed to start license heart beat!

        netlist, the spectre log file, the behavioral model files, and any
        other information that can help identify the problem to
        support@cadence.com.

Fatal error found by spectre.
    FATAL (CMI-2002): Insufficient memory available, To reduce memory for rf
        analyses, please refer "spectre -h rfmemory"

 

How to i increase the memory so that i can run the iterations to collect more data points.

 

Please help me with this problem.

 

Thanks

     Hi Mohana,

     

    You didn't mention what version of spectre and IC software that you are using.  

    Try using 64 bit instead of 32 bit mode.

     

    Add this to the OCEAN script:

    envOption( 'userCmdLineOption "-64" )

     

    best regards,

    Tawna
