Eldo Netlist Setup
Running Multiple Runs
This will happen when you do not have the permissions to see the machine and/or to
write in the working directory. This error must be fixed by the system administrator
before the .MPRUN command can be used.
• The netlist must be in a shared directory (a place visible from the other machines on the
network).
• If using local installations of Eldo, the installation patches (not the binaries) must be
strictly identical on all machines.
• Users need to be able to login remotely to other machines without supplying a password.
If a user needs a password to login remotely to other servers, Eldo will be unable to
access systems on those servers to launch tasks, because the other machines require
passwords and Eldo cannot supply them.
• The result of a .CALL_TCL command used with .MPRUN is unpredictable since the
behavior of the Tcl function is unknown to Eldo. It does not know if the command opens
output files or returns a waveform.
• .MPRUN cannot be specified inside a .ALTER section.
• If you set QUEUE=YES on the .MPRUN command, Eldo adds -queue on the command
line of the remote processes. The local process does not queue license requests. If you
simulate a netlist with -queue, both the main process and the remote processes can queue
license requests.
Usage
Before performing a run on a remote host, the .MPRUN command must initialize the remote
environment. By default, Eldo does the following before running a simulation:
cd
setenv MGC_AMS_HOME ...
setenv MGLS_LICENSE_FILE ...
If you specify INIT_FILE=filename, the sequence becomes:
cd
source
setenv MGC_AMS_HOME ...
setenv MGLS_LICENSE_FILE ...
and if you also specify DEFAULT_INIT=NO, the sequence becomes:
cd
source
and if you remove the INIT_FILE=filename, the sequence becomes:
cd
