Quartus DSE Fatal Error
Hi,
Could you provide the sample project for testing?
Best Regards,
Sheng
I am not sure that I can provide sample project yet (due to IP) and I am not sure that it would necessarily be helpful because you probably wouldn't be able to reproduce the error. I setup 3 more computers to run DSE with the exact same version Quartus and exact same source. These other three computers didn't have any problems running 3 simultaneously. One of those has only 32GB of RAM and two less CPUs. Thus, it is probable that you wouldn't see the failure because it is not due to the source specifically.
Each time it fails, the stack trace below is given in the DSE window. Does this give any clues as to what is happening?

Hi,
Then that's clear that the problem most probably due to the operating system. Do these computers use the same operating system? And make sure that the OS used is supported check this link https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/programmable/support-resources/design-software/os-support.html under section Table 3: OS Support for Intel Quartus Prime Software.
Best regards,
Sheng
