[SOC Encounter] ERROR (cannot malloc)

Yusuf

I have a problem in running SOC Encounter. During the 'optDesign -preCTS' (after placement), Encounter is terminated with this message 

>Nr of prerouted/Fixed nets = 1164
>routingBox: (200 400) (26039800 26039600)
>coreBox:    (620000 620000) (25420000 25420000)

>*** Memory Usage v0.144 (Current mem = 2407.844M, initial mem = 62.289M) ***

I running this in the Linux machine with 32Gbyte memory. This problem occors on both SOCE 8.1 and 7.1 version.

Instance number of design is 400K and chip size is 13mm x 13mm

Can I know the reason of tool termination or any solutions? I would really appreciate...

Thanks,

  • I am affraid that your job is too big for your machine.

    Try it on a 64bit machine...

    I see in the doc the following nanoroute attribut (setNanoRouteMode):

    -envAdvancedIntegration {true | false}

    Reduces the router's memory footprint in most designs, allowing it to route larger designs. This parameter is most effective when you are routing an unrouted design. Using this parameter when you route a design with a 32-bit machine allows the machine to handle large designs that could not be routed otherwise.
    Default: false

    It may help you.
