I am going to buy a new PC for running Cadence Virtuoso. The simulations that I will be working with would be DC, AC, PSS, Noise, and Transient (Specifically because I might need to run these in ADEXL to have Monte Carlo outcomes). The Cadence version I am currently using is IC6.1.6-64b.500.6.
Evidently, the higher spec, the better! However, I am trying to understand which part should I invest more, given the fact that I like to have parallel processing to maximize the speed. I was wondering if I should have more # CPU cores and less RAM or vice versa. I would like to thank you for your valuable comments!
