Title: May I run Monte Carlo in parallel? Post by ywguo on Feb 26th, 2009, 7:32pm Hi Guys, It often takes a long time to run Monte Carlo, say a Monte Carlo with 100 runs. Normally the 100 runs goes on one by one. Can I make them done in parallel given that the server has 8 CPU. The Cadence version is Virtuoso Front to Back Design Environment 5.10.41_USR3.27.30. The linux server has 8 CPUs. Thanks in advance. Yawei |

This supports the basic "LBS" distributed mode that we ship, LSF, and in later IC5141 versions than the one you're using, SGE. It also supports a "command mode" where you can specify the command to queue the job. In versions such as the version you're using, SGE is also available via a workaround wrapper (ask your hotline support for solution 11015590) if you need this. If you want to be able to just "distribute" onto the local machine, you could do the following:
This is all covered in <ICinstDir>/doc/distproc/distproc.pdf Regards, Andrew. |
