First access to netlist take too much time

Hi @Matthias
I optimizing my LVS script. I saw a strange thing. It take much time(more than 2 minutes) for first i access to netlist(example: print a name of circuit from the netlist OR get circuit to a variable). please see following picture to more detail.

  • First trying "Time 2" - "Time 1" take around 2 minutes
  • Second trying "Time 3" - "Time 2" take around 2 minutes


There is any reason for this?

note: size of my GDS is 8MB

Thanks you.

    hi @Matthias
    I tried run with smaller cell(1.2MB) it took around 30s to pass the command(top_cir = netlist.circuit_by_name(curCell)). I see it take time for "computing local cluster" and "computing hierarchical cluster"

    thanks you.

    This is because on the first access, the actual extraction happens. This is not an immediate thing. There are some elaborate algorithms involved.
