Overview

The multi-mode multi-corner (MMMC) timing analysis can be run in distributed mode
also.
Distributed multi-mode multi-corner (DMMMC) enables controlled distribution of
various analysis
views to a selected or shared group of machines, and then merges the reports
generated for timing
and signal integrity across the views.
This chapter describes how an existing MMMC setup can be transitioned to
distributed MMMC (that
is, to multiple machines/CPUs). These multiple machines/CPUs will be referred as
Tempus clients
in this chapter.
Distributed MMMC is a method of processing timing analysis views where the runs
are distributed
on several Tempus clients. This allows you to run Timing/SI analysis for different
analysis views on
multiple Tempus clients and then merge/aggregate the generated reports from
various views into a
single report. The flow is shown in the figure below.
