About an error(HSPICE failed to run)When I run an example (flut0. yaml). #43

Closed luck-codeer closed 1 year ago

luck-codeer commented 1 year ago

When I run an example (flut0. yaml), it has an error. I am thinking whether it is related to the working environment and version. I use ubuntu18.04.6, Hspice 2017.12 and COFFE2. So I want to ask if there are any environment and version restrictions on the use of COFFE2. I would be very grateful indeed for any help you could give me.

@StephenMoreOSU : any ideas?

vaughnbetz commented 1 year ago

One thing I have seen in the past is the license server becoming unavailable for a while, causing a run to fail.

StephenMoreOSU commented 1 year ago

@luck-codeer I'm guessing its an issue with your hspice license, hspice is currently a dependency for running COFFE 2. If you can could you go to the "sb_mux" directory in the "arch_out_folder" (either specified in the configuration file or at /COFFE/input_files/flut0/arch_out_dir) and show me the sb_mux.lis file? It should give some intutition on why the HSPICE run failed.

OK，This is sb_mux.lis file. According to what it said, I changed the path of line 38 in the process_data.l file, and then executed the code, the file path of process_data.l would be wrong again.Do you know where the source of the problem is?

Yea so in the "flut0.yaml" input file there is a parameter which points to the spice models, in the unit test the default is for it to be set to "\~/COFFE/spice_models/..." so you need to set the "~/COFFE/" portion to the path of your coffe repo

I'll leave this issue open until I update the docs to inform users where to change path specific parameters
