Out of memory: Quartus_sta is using 230GByte memory.

Hi,

Hope this may help you ,

You may see this error when compiling large designs targeting high density devices using the Quartus® II 32-bit software.

Compiling high density designs may consume greater than the 2 to 3 GB of memory resources available per process on 32-bit operating systems.

To resolve this issue, use the Quartus II 64-bit software with a 64-bit operating system.

For recommenced RAM size based on device family refer below link.

Hi Anand,

I have --64bit option, so it's not due to that.

this issue only happens yesterday, btw I have been using this version for 1 year.

if it is due to RTL change or constraint, it should report in fitter or mapper not sta phase.

anything I can check?​

Hi,

Try deleting db and work folder and check once.

Can you attach the project ?

Which will help me to recreate the scenario.

Best Regards,

Anand Raj Shankar
