Error: Peak virtual memory: 255 megabytes

Well, it compiled for me (I ended up using 9.1). It's extremely full (10,467 LEs out of 10,570). Now I should note that just because you are using the web edition at school doesn't mean they don't have a valid IP license. If this exact same project compiles on my machine, and your machine a school, but not your laptop; I can think of no other reason than you don't have the same IP licenses (for things like NIOS processor) that you have at school.

Hi Jake,

did you something special or is it only the new Quartus Version ? I treid the same with Quartus 9.0 and it didn't fit.

Kind regards

I didn't do anything special. For some reason I can't open the project in 9.0 without Quartus crashing. Please do something for me:

1 - Open the compilation report for your project.

2 - Expand the "Analysis & Synthesis" section of the report.

3 - Click on the "IP Cores Summary" report.

This will give you a list of the IP used in the project along with it's corresponding license. If any of those IP cores have an OpenCore evaluation license, your design will consume more logic when you build it than when I build it.

Hi Jake,

thanks for your info. I did not get the "IP Cores Summary", but the warning during Analysis & Synthesis that the NIOS II will use the Evaluation feature. I never get the

information that the synthesis results of an evaluation version will be worse than the

licenced version.

Kind regards

Your design is using too many logic resources. If you post it here, we may be able to help optimize it.

What device family are you using?

Hi

I get the same problem now, but the strange thing is my project once compiled before. I'm using a Cyclone 3c25 board and used a 60kb on-chip memory to accomodate 'fopen' and 'fclose' commands. I once tested my project and it did compile. Now it doesnt anymore. I heard that it could have to do with the license or something? Could it be the problem?

I was trying something like this in quartus 13.0 SP1 CycloneII device.

cmplxAdd add2(.z(addOut2),.x(inp1), .y({-inp2[63:32],-inp2[31:0]});

And received Error: Peak virtual memory: 462 megabytes.

I changed the above instantiation as

cmplxAdd add2(addOut2, inp1, {-inp2[63:32],-inp2[31:0]});

and the error vanished.

Whats the difference in the above two statements which is causing the Peak Virtual Memory error?

Or is this a bug in Quartus ?
