In the AMS Designer simulator, multi-threading is used to speed up the device evaluation and matrix solving part of computation that often dominates large and post-layout circuit simulation. Multi-threading enables the high performance simulation engine providing significant performance gain and high capacity SPICE simulation on single-core, multi-core, and multi-cpu shared memory systems. This enables you to quickly simulate large pre-layout and post-layout designs. This feature provides scalable multi-threading performance on up to 16 cores. Multithreading is supported when Spectre is chosen as the analog solver.
