disk space for spectreS simulations

Discussion in 'Cadence' started by desai.vandana, Mar 30, 2006.

  1. Hello,

    I am running SpectreS simulations on Cadence.
    When I try to bring up icfb, I get the error

    *WARNING* file /home/desaiv/CDS.log Disc quota exceeded

    My disk quota as exceeded and i need to clean up to free some space.
    Can anybody please tell me what are the simulation output files that
    can be deleted safely?
    I am unsure of the extensions of the files that are uncessary and are
    generated during simulations.
    If I delete them , will my problem be solved?

    Thanks a lot in advance

  2. /<yourSimulationDir>/<cellName>/<simulatorName>/<viewName>/psf/tran.tran

    If you run transient analysis, which needs the most disk space.

  4. Well, it depends on where you're using the disk space, and what you're happy to
    get rid of. The default location for simulation data is in ~/simulation - but
    this is often customized to put it somewhere else. If you don't want to keep any
    of your simulation results, delete the whole simulation directory. If you want
    to keep some of them, look within the simulation directory, and delete just the
    testbench directories that you no longer want.

    The directory is of the form <testbenchName>/<simulator>/<view> and then
    has netlist, psf etc underneath that. psf is likely to be the largest cause of
    disk space in each trree.

    Andrew.
