FPGA Express: out of virtual memory error. synopsys internal error 217
Record #5506
Product Family: Software
Product Line: Synopsys
Product Part: FPGA Express
Product Version: 2.1.3
Problem Title:
FPGA Express: out of virtual memory error. synopsys internal error 217
Problem Description:
Urgency: Normal
General Description:
Compiling certain designs through FPGA Express may result in the following
error after being stuck during the Optimization stage on "implementing inferred operators"
out of virtual memory error.
synopsys internal error: 217
Solution 1:
In the modules tab of constraints editor, set Operator Sharing OFF on the top level design.
Also, it is recommended to use AREA/LOW_effort option for faster CPU time.
Increase the amount of physical and virtual memory if possible.
Be sure to use the latest version of FPGA Express, as issues like these are addressed with
each new release.
See (Xilinx Solution 7382) for more details about a similar issue.
