How can I make AXIEM use more than 8 CPU cores?

Dear Eric,

Is this limited by licensing?

It may be limited by the number of licenses you have available (If many others are using licenses). However, I do not believe the use of 32 cores is a licensing enabled feature.

How are you trying to invoke the 32 cores? As an example of what I use that sets the number of cores correctly (from what I've observed anyway), I set the command line to use a specific number of cores based on how many jobs I am submitting and the number required for a particular simulation. For example, my command line that uses 4 cores is:

bsub -q mp -o /dev/null -n4 -R "rusage[mem=10000] span[hosts=1]"

I set the "High Performance Simulation" GUI to use the LSF command to determine the number of cores to run. From Explorer for this same session, Figure 1 details how I set this condition.

I hope this helps Eric....

Shawn,

The question is about AXIEM, which is one of our electromagnetic solvers, from the AWR family. It's not about spectre or ADE.

I've asked one of my AWR colleagues to take a look as they are more familiar with AXIEM on Windows (I mainly know it on Linux through the Virtuoso RF interface, but this is not about that).

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Eric,

Axiem is limited to using 8 cores per job through the licensing.

Dear Andrew and Eric,

My sincere apologies for totally overlooking your application Eric and responding Andrew. I will be more vigilant in the future - or will do my best to be!

With regret,

Shawn
