Cadance crashes while executing SKILL application: Insufficient memory to continue.

Hello All,

I’ve got a problem with my SKILL application executed in CIW Cadence. This is a big program which uses a lot of resources. But it runs on a very fast machine: 32GB RAM and 4 dual core CPUs. The problem occurs when the application runs for over 3 days and Cadence crashes with information:

Insufficient memory to continue.

Cannot satisfy request for 65536 more bytes of memory.

Terminating process.

I may only add that, when I last checked the percentage of memory used by my application it was only 4-5% of all available RAM resources – so I don’t think this is a system problem… I don’t know the amount of memory used by application exactly when it crashes…

Another strange thing is that, when I executed different SKILL application, but also resources consuming it crashed with the same error message and even with the same amount of memory mentioned (65536)

Any ideas?

Thanks,

ToM
