VCS error: malloc(480004) cannot allocate memory

[gaonkc]

When I use ncverilog to simulate the part, everything is ok.
But when I use vcs to do it,the error message is reported.

Error: malloc(480004) returned 0: Cannot allocate memory

How to deal with it?

vcs allocate memory

I think this you vcs error, malloc is c function for memory , so you should check you vcs install or ask synopsys .

vcs+malloc+cannot+allocate+memory

In my opinion, you must check your OS .
The error may be rised with the OS liberary.

How to deal with it?

1. Do you have any PLI code being linked? In general, explain how your environment looks like - pure Verilog? Verilog + C etc.

2. What was your exact vcs and nc command line options? (Show us the command)

3. Try on a m/c with larger memory.
4. Try running "top" when VCS is running/compiling to see the memory usage.

5. Contact Synopsys for more help

use 64bit version of vcs

ncverilog vs vcs?

64-bit cannot handle this case too.
CPU 3.2G. Memory 4GB
