11 years ago --- Quote Start --- Thank you! BTW: Regarding the compilation, I am just wondering if it's OK for me to compile aocl kernels on windows but execute them on Linux? Is there any disadvantages on executing kernels compiled from a different OS? Also, given enough DRAM, is it possible to compile multiple kernels on the same workstation (Linux) at the same time, where each compilation will be started in a separate "screen" session? My workstation has a 6 cores 12 threads processor, but the compiler only uses more than 3 cores in timing analysis stage, so I am trying to see if there is a way to save some time. --- Quote End --- Q1: Yes, you should be able to generate .aocx files on Windows and execute them on Linux with no problem. Q2: Yes, you should be able to run multiple compilations in parallel, however, Quartus may require large amounts of RAM for big designs (may exceed 10 GB, so the more compilations you run, the more you risk running out of memory... I doubt that you can run more than 2.
