Compiling an application on the Intel OpenCL SDK results in compile failed error please help!

I am using the OpenCL SDK vs 16.0 to compile an opencl application. The compilation process starts and crashes at the very end with a "Compiler Error, not able to generate hardware" message. The log ...

This is the actual error:

Error (293007): Current module quartus_cdb ended unexpectedly. Verify that you have sufficient memory available to compile your design. You can view disk space and physical RAM requirements on the System and Software Requirements page of the Altera website (http://dl.altera.com/requirements/).

How much RAM do you have on the machine you are using for compilation? Stratix V designs could need up to 32 GB of memory for placement and routing.

    Here are my system specs:-

    Intel Core i7-7700@ 4.2GHz

    Available RAM- 45GB

    I do not see that there is a over utilization of memory, Funnily however the application got compiled some time later with a recompile but again I get similar error in some other applications as well. Looking for concrete solutions, please help :(

      If the same kernel compiled fine another time but you ran into the same error again with another kernel, you are definitely running out of memory. Are you running multiple compilations in parallel? Try to watch or even log your applications' memory usage and see what is taking up your memory when the compilation crashes.

      P.S. DE5-Net has compatible BSPs with Quartus v16.1 and also 18.0+; you can always try using the newer versions of the compiler which will be more stable.
