Design contains X blocks of type combinational node,However, device contains only X

[Altera_Forum]

When I compile a design, it gives following error:Design contains 335018 blocks of type combinational node. However, device contains only 119088. 

Does it mean that the design use too much memory? Thank you!

Too much logic elements, not too much memory. 

 Possibly you did something inappropriate to HDL programming, e.g. writing iteration loops as you know it from C code.
