to generate a script

hi, yesterday i have seen ur mail .sorry for inconvienience .now am
mentioning clearly ,my doubt is am calling a perlscript by using a
ipcbeginprocess (tht perlscript is to generate a plot for desired
netname libname and etc).And my doubt is( first i have to convert or
run that perlscript and convert it into gds form and agin i have to
streamin and this procedure is for one signal doingin a manually) and
through skill how can i call that perlscript and execute in ciw window
to perform for multiple netnames at a time .if ur not clear about my
question means can u mention me the addrees or path where i can find a
information about this topic(how to stream in and stream out the
perlscript which is called through (ipcbeginprocess) )

2nd doubt :iam calling a perlscript through ipcbeginprocess and my
question here is whether streamin and streamout functions can be done
in ciw window wihtout running the script in terminaland then getting
intogds form and again doing streamin

3rd doubt :whether PIPO strmin and strmout functions are used to
streamin and out directly in ciw window or otherwise any process is
there for that

4ht doubt: i want to convert the perlscript into( .gdsfile )form which
i called through ipcbeginprocees
and also want to strmin it through skillprog how to
do this

 

Your question is still gobbledegook, but throughout the unnecessary
abbreviations (why not write "you" and "your" rather than "u" and "ur" - if your
English is not great, it makes it easier to understand) - I think you're
asking how to run streamin/streamout from a perl script.

That's easy. Create a template file (as you would from
File->Export/Import->Stream form), and then invoke:

pipo strmin templateFile

or

pipo strmout templateFile

(you can invoke this from perl a number of ways, including using "system").

Then use ipcBeginProcess to invoke your perl script. Read the manuals
on how to do that.

or u cud pst clrer Q so we cn fthm thru skillprog wht the f* ur on abut?

hi,
sorry once again ,and thanks for your patience , i think the english
which i wrote is not clear to you sorry for that andrew ,what my
question is , if i want to run my perlscript many no of times how i
will do that .i cant streamin & streamout using that stream forms right
..(whether it is possible to run my perlscript which is invoked by
ipcbeginproces for many times menas i want to put my perlscript in a
foreach loop so how i will do that).for example i want to run my script
for many signals i cant do streamin & tstreamout every signal using
stream form then how can i do that plz help me i need it soon plz

 

hi ,

i can streamin and streamout the perlscript without using file
(streamin/streamout and terminal )form which is invoked by
ipcbeginprocess

 

sorry once again ,and thanks for your patience , i think the english

Not that i want to debate once again on this, your keyboard contains more than a hundred keys, and
you seem to ignore some important ones.

A very useful one is the return key, which allows you to separate your text into *paragraphs*, which
are not only used for giving your text an attracting look, but also to make it easier to read and
even to *understand*.

Another one is the shift key, which virtually multiplies the number of keys of your keyboard by two
by modifying their function ! As an example, typing a letter key which holding down the shift key
will produce an *uppercase* letter !

(...)

Of course, I'm being sarcastic pretending that you ignore this, the point being that you obviously
do not put any effort in writing correctly, and no more into trying to help the reader understand
your meaning.

And *YOU* pay the price because even when somebody gathers enough courage to dive into your
repelling heap of words, he's, despite his efforts, not able to understand your question...

Now, stream-in and stream-out have a commonly agreed meaning over here which is : importing or
exporting your *layout* data from/to GDS-II file format. You can not stream-in or stream-out
signals, and a perl script even less (might be a nice extension to GDS in the future though , so
obviously that's not what you mean.

You say you want to generate power plots, but you can do this right away with SKILL, so I have to
ask you why are you using a perl script in the first place ?

If you explained in details what you want to do and why (ie, what result are you expecting), then
you'll probably have a chance to get an answer.

hi thanks for posting a reply so soon .Am having a perlscript which a
generate a plot for single signal


..now i want to write a script for plotting of mutiple signals at a time
using (foreach() function) using skill language .N ow my doubt how i
import and export for every signal by running the script please answer
as soon as i need it very urgent .sorry for asking this many times

 

hi thanks for posting a reply so soon .Am having a perlscript which a

so you are running simulations in the cadence environment, then using some SKILL code you want to
send the simulation results to your perl script which produces plots.

what does you perl script take as input ? x/y values in a file ?

 

ya sure that only am asking. ya am giving (netname ,cellname,
libname,cdslib)are the input and i get gds file as output when i run my
perl script on terminal . And if i want to run
perlscript in( command interpreter window )which was invoked by
ipcbegin process.(And one thing whether ipcbeginprocess will convert it
into gds file form am asking)

 

ya sure that only am asking. ya am giving (netname ,cellname,

basically, you want to do

foreach( signal list_of_signals

;; run perl script
ipcWait( ipcBeginProcess( "perl ..." ) )

;; stream in generated GDS file
streamInKeys = list(nil)
streamInKeys->runDir = "."
streamInKeys->inFile = myfile.gds"
streamInKeys->libName = "mylib"
; ...
; (fill in streamInKeys)
; ...

file = outfile( "templateFile" )
fprintf(file "streamInKeys='%L\n" streamInKeys)
close(file)

ipcWait( ipcBeginProcess( "pipo strmin templateFile" ) )

) ; foreach

 

thank u very very much badel,my small doubt if i dont want to use
ipcwait process because it waits until the signalw hich is in
execution ,so am going to use post fucntion in ipce begin process then
how to do and wht i have to mention in list (nil),whether i have to
mention the variable (signal) in that.
2: if i want to put my each signal in a different dir such as /tmp/s1
for first signal and next like /tmp/s2 then how to do


thank u very much i got the idea thank u

 

hi ,

can i give input for (myfile .gds) and mylib and dir name by forming a
form menu like

enter the cellname
enter the netname
enter libname
like in this way if form a windoew and give inputs there and how can i
pass thriugh that i/p to this
these stream leys help me

 

You don't seem to have learned. I'm afraid I'm not going to bother answering any
of your "questions" (if that's what they are) until you actually try to write
something legible.

You're still talking about signals and gds2 which is meaningless, as Stephane
said before.

hi,

first i have to streamout then only i get (input file ) and then i can
stream in that input file and u didnt mention how to streamout

 

sorry sorry please help me .my actual doubt is how i can run the perl
script which takes input as net name, cellname ,libanme and gdsname
,after runnig the that perlscript i get a gdsform and the gdsfile
i can stream in it.thats what i do normaly without a skill script and
by using skill script how do .please answer to my question

use File:ath;
if($#ARGV < 1) {

printf "$runString\n";
system($runString)

}

am sending my perl scirpt i think now u can get what am asking .please
make patience am new to this plz .my perlscript generates a plot for
the data which is mentioned in printf)of this script and performs for
one signal and am asking if i want to perform for more signals(nothing
but more nets )
how i do by skill language usinfg ipcbeginprocess please answer me
impotant

 

i have sent my " perlscript" please answer to me and u told me to
run the perlscript in above code that only am asking how to run it.

 

Funny, indeed, because you are actually running a perl script which runs assura which produces a gds
file that you stream back into dfII, while assura could directly produce dfII.

If it had been clear from the beginning exactly what you were trying to do, you could have had a
much simpler answer and saved a lot of ~typing~ effort...

As an advice, look into the assura manual for how to produce dfII output.

Sorry, but how stupid is it possible to be and still be allowed to access a
computer? This crap is going to show up on every future search on the
topic.

 

Yeah, we have plonked you for behaving stupid.

 

Chinni,

Apparently you want to highlight multiple nodes after a successful
assura LVS. To achieve this,
1- you do not need perl. This can be done 100% from within SKILL.
2- you do not need to stream out or stream in. This can be done in the
'design framework 2' database format.

That should simplify your solution. So drop the perl script, go in the
assura and skill manual, and do this from scratch. You ll be better off.

If you want to program, you will most likely have to interact with
english speaking people. It will be a better investment for you to learn
english rather than yet another programming language or electronic
design technique.

To those in the group who get so quickly offended by poor language, I
wish they get one day faced with the necessity to relocate and learn a
completely alien language in a matter of months. An then meet the blokes
with no patience who get oh-so-offended by misuse of their beautiful
native tongue.
