Title: Parallel simulation in Cadence
Post by jimmy on Apr 6^th, 2005, 12:35am

Hi all,

We want to setup the distribution simulation for our cadence (the version is 5.1.41). The following is what our computer support wrote to me. It seems that might be a conflication between our system job balancing tool and cadence's internal LBS tool. Can you please give me some advice on this.

thank you so much,
jimmy

swarm used to have LSF but we dropped it due to cost in favor of
a free application to do the distribution of jobs.

if we can do this only using their LBS software (load balancing), but it
should work on swarm.

my fear though is that we're going to have conflicts between users. swarm
currently is using one set of job scheduling and balancing tools, and
cadence wants a completely separate one. it's almost like you guys would
need to work things out such that when you need machines, the other folks
couldn't use a predefined set of machines.

Take a look on http://sourcelink.cadence.com for my solution 11015590. This specifically talks about settings up Sun Grid Engine with ADE, but the approach described there (which is getting LBS to work with SGE) will work with other load balancing systems. I know a number of customers have used the method I outline in this solution to interface to several different load balancing systems.

Best Regards,

Andrew.
