Dear All;
I need your help to choose the suitable Hardware platform for CADENCE ALLEGRO 15.5 tool.

I work with very big file 100MB and it is very slow, so if any one can suggest suitable Hardware platform to work with this big file

Thanks
 

This depends on which OS/Machine that you are using. For a Windows machine, 1 GB of RAM is minimum. Working with a BRD file size in > 100 MB will require probably all 2 GB of RAM. As to the CPU, faster is better, of course. But the difference may or may not be significant.

Typically, Allegro requires lots and lots of RAM. I think there is a calculation of memory requirement based on the size and # of layers in your design to get a raw estimate. This will probably run into 2 GB range.

BTW, v15.5 is not that good. You should try to upgrade to v15.5.1 or v15.7 at the current time.
