Unable to allocate memory

nmobini
nmobini over 15 years ago

I use IC-5141 sub-version 5.10.41.500.6.139.

I am doing transient analysis of a large analog circuit. The simulator I use is Virtuoso ADE 7.1.1.071

As soon as simulation is done and waveform are to be plotted. I get these errors. 

ERROR: Unable to allocate memory for locator map bnode split.

ERROR: Unable to allocate memory for transition file rw buffer.

How can I fix it?

    Hi Gaofeng

    It is not a good idea to append to an old thread which has already ended in Apr 2010. This is against the forum guidelines. In future, please kindly start a new thread for your issue. This will also help us to concentrate on only your issue and not be confused by the old issue.  :)

    Would you please try the following?
    terminal>setenv CDS_AUTO_64BIT ALL
    terminal>virtuoso &

    The issue seems to be due to insufficient memory. If the machine has more than 4Gb of memory, using 64bits Virtuoso will most probably help to resolve this.

    Best regards
