encounter library characterizer work with hspice

Does anybody use SignalStorm Library Characterizer for your library?
Does it fork fine?

Do you recieve errors like :
slc> db_spice -d BUFX2 -p typical
[ERROR(db_spice)]cannot establish client-server

How do you fix it?
 

signal storm tutorial

you need to set up the daemons for slc to work -

here's what I do

1) Kill all demons that are currently running (just to avoid demon-chaos).
run "ipsstat" to see which machines have ipsd and ipsc running. Then kill it on those machines until ipsstat doesn't find anything.
2) Then start only one demon on your local machine. It is capable of many demons all over the place but typically it ends up in chaos. Just type "ipsd" for this.
3) Start a management demon: "ipsc -w 4", means to have 4 jobs in parallel, which is reasonable.
4) Start a hspice demon: "ipsc -n hspice -w 4"
5) Now do "ipsstat" again to see that it found your demons
6) now you can run slc

that shud help

firegardeneve,

Could you provide me an tutorial (simple cell --> invertor) ?
1. inv.sp
2. setup file ( I don't know how to develope this file.
I saw examples from cadence's document,
but It's so many item inside the file. Does it need all the items or just few ?)
3. script file. (db_open, db_install, db_qsim, db_setup ...)

Thanks for your kindly help.
