The rusage Command

The rusage command is used to obtain information about the consumption of system resources and other statistics during the WRspice session.

rusage [all] [resource ...]
If any resource keywords are given, only those resources are printed. All resources are printed if the keyword all is given. With no arguments, only total time and space usage are printed. The show command can also be used to obtain resource statistics. The recognized keywords are listed below.

accept
This keyword prints the number of accepted time points from the last transient analysis.

elapsed
This keyword prints the total amount of time that has elapsed since the last call of the rusage command, or to the program start time.

faults
This keyword prints the number of page faults caused by the program thus far.

loadtime
If given, print the time spent loading the matrix in the last simulation run. This includes the time spent in computation of device characteristics.

lutime
The lutime keyword will print the time spent in LU factorization of the matrix during the last simulation run.

rejected
This keyword prints the number of rejected time points in the last transient analysis.

solvetime
This will print the time spent solving the matrix equations, after LU decomposition, in the last simulation run.

space
This keyword will print the memory presently in use by WRspice.

time
This keyword will print the CPU time used by the last simulation run.

totaltime
If this keyword is given, the total CPU time used in the present session will be printed.

totiter
This keyword prints the total number of Newton iterations used in the last analysis.

traniter
The traniter keyword will print the number of iterations used in the last transient analysis. This does not include iterations used in the operating point calculation, unlike totiter which includes these iterations.

tranpoints
This keyword prints the number of internal time steps used in the last transient analysis.

transolvetime
This keyword prints the matrix solution time required by the last transient analysis.

trantime
This keyword will print the total time spent in transient analysis in the last transient analysis.
