Time Tracker Functions

You can measure the time for certain commands in Virtuoso^® by defining a scope. For any scope, you can measure the time by using the following SKILL functions:

• ttrGetCurrentScope
• ttrGetScopes
• ttrGetTime
• ttrStartTracking
• ttrStopTracking

You can use the time-tacking data for debugging purposes. For example, you can identify where all the CPU time is spent, the time taken by a particular command, or the operations that are causing slowness in the system.
