Insufficient memory

Mohana

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!
    FATAL: Failed to created rechecking thread!

Internal error found in spectre.  Please run `getSpectreFiles' or send the
        netlist, the spectre log file, the behavioral model files, and any
        other information that can help identify the problem to
        support@cadence.com.
    FATAL (CMI-2010): Assertion failed in file `analyses.c' at line 1109.


Mem Used: 4073.6 MB (Memory Exhausted)


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

  • The solution doesn't tell you much more than the fact that you can use $CDS_AUTO_64BIT to enable 64 bit mode for various applications, and use -64 as a command line option. Searching for CDS_AUTO_64BIT in the documentation would tell you more.

    By running in 64 bit mode, it means that pointers are then 64 bit long, which allows greater memory access than with a 32 bit application.

    However, you might also want to look into what you're doing - why is the simulation taking so much memory. Is it an RF simulation? If so, have you set it up properly? Perhaps giving some info as to what analyses you're running in spectre (a good way to show this would be to post the bottom parts of your input.scs which show the analysis statements). Also, show the circuit inventory that you get in the log file, so we can see the size of the circuit.
