JobSpy

JobSpy by ModelTech

These annotations apply to release 6.2a of ModelSim, which appears to be less stable than previous versions.

It is not necessary to use JobSpy with FlowTracer. FlowTracer/Accelerator is capable of suspending and resuming simulation jobs even without JobSpy.

Set the environment variable JOBSPY_DAEMON (port@host) and start the daemon.
Note:
  • JobSpy with an illegal jobid still returns exit status 0, so we need to parse the output string to determine if the operation was successful.
  • JobSpy JOBID suspend is asynchronous, meaning that it returns before the job is actually suspended and the license has been released.
