Distributed FlexTest
FlexTest has the ability to divide ATPG processes into smaller sets and run these
sets simultaneously on multiple workstations. This capability is called Distributed
FlexTest. The workstation from which FlexTest is invoked is known as the master
machine and the FlexTest process is known as the master process (this process
controls all processes). Similarly, the remote machines where additional FlexTest
processes are spawned for parallel processing are known as slave machines and
the spawned FlexTest processes are known as slave processes. Each machine can
execute several processes at once.
Note
In order to use Distributed FlexTest you must have multiple
licenses of FlexTest (at least one full FlexTest license for the
master machine and additional full FlexTest licenses for use as
slaves). For example, three licenses are required to run the
FlexTest process (master process) and two slave processes as
shown in Figure 5-1.
