Hi,
what BAD can happen if multiple Virtuoso/Spectre sessions are sharing the same simulation folder ?
In our project environment, we are using SOS workareas for revision control. The pointer to the simulation folder is a link to an special, non-managed folder.
In order to be able to run an older version of the project, we can simply copy the SOS workarea and roll back to any previous version of the design - still the pointers to the simulation folder remain the same.
Now, in case the user opens 2 Virtuoso sessions - one in the current workarea, one in the "rolledback" workarea, and he runs simulations in both of the sessions - and the names of the libs and cells are the same in both workareas - does Virtuoso recognize that the other session started already a simulation "Interactive:10", and the other session will start the automatically a simulation with "Interactive:11" ?
Or does it crash for some reason ?
Of course I can check it out myself (which I would do eventually), but maybe Cadence already built in a feature for such issues ?
