Subject: (ESNUG 253 #8) DC + Solaris 2.5.1 + 60K Design = Infinite Hang????

> Do you know if anyone out there using Solaris 2.5.1 and Synopsys are

Greetings John.

The symptom -- long run times, may be related to the physical memory/
swap space combination on your machine.  I have been running VERY large
jobs using Solaris/Ultra-sparc and Synopsys 3.3b as well as sparc20's
using Sunos without having more than expected run-time differences.

Hi John ...

We also get this having just switched from SS20's to UltraSparcs.  Like   
you, smaller blocks are OK, but some large blocks hang during the Mapping   
phase.

Hotline call due first thing tomorrow I think !
