| + | The first time you start Sentaurus, you have to set the STDB environment variable.\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | 1. CAD admin usually creates a DB folder for each user inside /data. If not, create a folder called DB inside your space on /data disk\\ | ||
| + | **DON'T** put your DB folder inside /home, or the simulations will saturate the disk in a short time and TCAD will crash. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | sudo mkdir /data/users/<your_name>/DB | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | 2. edit your .cshrc file by typing (NOTE: by default, administrator sets cshell as default shell for users) | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | sentenv STDB = /data/users/<your_name>/DB | ||

| + | **Issues**\\ | ||
| + | - Simulation with correct syntax fails (red node color): | ||
| + | * saturated disk space | ||
| + | * you changed the command file between one node and the other | ||

| + | ------ | ||
| + | **Running simulations/ CPU usage** | ||
| + | |||
| + | When you run a simulation, you can specify the number of threads/cores which will be used. Our machine has 16 cores: usually, the programs accepts a number of threads <16.\\ | ||
| + | Please don't use the "priority run" option, this will not speed up that much the simulation but will consume a lot of computing resources. | ||
