Reply To: Pickling of Nazca cells

[Xaveer]

Dear Szilard,

I’m not sure what complex cells you create that take minutes to build. Maybe there is a better way to create them. But I would need more information to be of help, if possible.

For an alternative to pickling, I would suggest you try to just generate one or more libraries of cell objects in one or more GDS files. Writing those should be quite efficient and can be done in parallel.

In writing you would lose nazca-specific information, but in your case that is probably not an issue.

A final script would then read the libraries and place the cells. I’m not sure if it would be more efficient than what you’ve tried, but I think it’s easy to implement and worth a try.
