Honored ContributorModelsim_Altera error (Memory Allocation Failure)
My design successfully compiled on Quartus II v.11.0 sp1, and i try to simulate it using Modelsim-Altera web free edition 10.0 C. I open a new project (.mpf)on modelsim_ Altera V. 10.C and add the (.vho) files from simulation directory of the design ( I use this method along the different stages of the project and I succeeded to simulate every module of the project separately- all of them are VHDL no mixed design languages- , the problem appears at the last stage when i combined all the modules together). in modelsim_Altera (.vho) files compilation succeeded but when simulating the following message appears:
** Fatal: (vsim-4) ****** Memory allocation failure. ***** * * Attempting to allocate 29707280 bytes * * Please check your system for available memory and swap space. * * Time: 0 ps Iteration : 0 Root : / File : NOFILE * Fatal error while loading design * Error loading design My response was reviewing the swap space i increase it many times till the extreme (300 giga bytes) but the same response. i tried with different versions of Modelsim_Altera (V. 6.0, 10.0 C, 10.0 D). I also try to compile the project using different chip rather than stratixIII, I used Arria II, but the same response when simulation. ? are am I go in the right or wrong way? is the design large to be simulated using web free edition? please give me response about that, and how i can overcome this problem. thanks in advance.
