Hello,
I found some other topics discussing this issue, but couldn't find an answer to my problem.
Currently, my design consumes most of the a available logic in the FPGA.
When I try to run the fitter, quartus will stop place and route in different stages showing the error
"Current module quartus_fit was unexpectedly terminated by signal 9"
This happens during different steps of the fitter, sometimes during Placement, sometimes during Routing, and sometimes (very infrequently ) it won't happen at all. Each step is taking around 30min, so every time it fails it costs me greatly.
Is there a way to dig deeper in the logs and find why this is happening? I understand it is either because it quartus fir performed illegal operation or because the system resources have been exhausted. But i'd like to go deeper and understand which resources... (maybe I need more memory?), or which illegal operation caused this issue.
Is that possible?
My current environment is:
OS : Ubuntu 20.04.5 LTS
CPU : 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-11850H
Memory : 31GB
Target FPGA: AGFB014R24B2E2V
Quartus Version : 22.4
Thanks for your help.

64 GB apparently, so twice more than what you have:

Agilex 7? If it's a large design, you may want more RAM there (like 64). You could also try reinstalling Quartus or update to the latest 23.4.

Hi sstrell.
Indeed an Agilex device. It seems that the computers resources are being exhausted.
Does intel provide any info on the minimum specs required to correctly synthesize a design to a target architecture?
I can understand why the lack of memory had me consistently fail place and route, what I don't get is why sometimes it worked.
Does anyone know a possible workaround? (besides upgrade memory/cpu)
Thanks for your help

Updating my machine memory should do the trick
