Distributing Simulation Runs to Multiple Resources

Running simulations for large designs can be resource-intensive. Therefore, you can distribute the task to multiple computers in a computer farm by specifying a Distributed Resource Management System (DRMS) command. A DRMS command is the command submitted to distribute jobs to a workload job scheduling software, such as LSF or OpenLava.

To distribute the runs for electromagnetic extraction, do one of the following:

• Specify the bsub DRMS command by using the dsmsCommand environment variable.
• Specify the bsub DRMS command in the Prefix Solver Commands with field on the General tab of the Simulation Settings form
  Virtuoso prepends the DRMS command to the command that launches the solver. After the run is successfully complete, the solver collates the results and writes those into a touchstone file.
