BuildGates memory error

archive
archive over 17 years ago

hello all,

i am using Cadence BuildGates tool to synthesis rtl for cmos90nm STM technology. The logic is as big as half a million gates. My issue is the BuildGates stops working after a few hours try with following error:

  INTERNAL_ERROR: (mem_enomem2_from) - no memory available for allocation. Exiting...

Is there any solution for this error?
I am using all memory of a sun machine (SunOS merlin 5.8 Generic_117350-50 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1000).

any idea is welcomed.

Thanks,
Ali

    Hi Ali,

    sounds like you need to add more memory to your ol' sun machine

    Hi,
    I am not sure, because the tool can always use virtual memory that is very large. I think, there should be an option for heirarchy synthesis, which uses memory more efficient.
