Hi! What can I do with the following error during yosys-abc run? 5.23.1.1. Executing ABC. Running ABC command: <yosys-exe-dir>/yosys-abc -s -f <abc-temp-dir>/abc.script 2>&1 ERROR: ABC: execution of command "/build/bin/yosys-abc -s -f /tmp/yosys-abc-zqwvu9/abc.script 2>&1" failed: return code -1. Is this because of extra big design? : 5.23.1. Extracting gate netlist of module `\crc32' to `<abc-temp-dir>/input.blif'.. Extracted 1308837 gates and 1311238 wires to a netlist network with 2400 inputs and 32 outputs.

Post complete log.. it may help.. just check for error and warning

Here it is. I'm trying to run flow at design with >10^6 cells. May be this is the reason. Smaller designs passed successfully.

Increase the memory and try it export DOCKER_MEMORY=16gb set this before make mount
still stops at same error file gitHub issue

I run docker at host with 72GB of memory. I hope all this memory is available in docker container. I didn't catch where should I set this variable? Should I set it before docker container run or as parameter to docker run?

increase the memory by:
In terminal run below command where OL lanuched: $export DOCKER_MEMORY=32gb $make mount

What make mount does?
I run "docker run -it -v ..."
The docker documentation says: By default, a container has no resource constraints and can use as much of a given resource as the host’s kernel scheduler allows.

check in yosys.log how much cell count?

I'm also struck with such big design. Try with Open-Road-flow-scripts. Else do macro hardening and integrate the design. split into sub-level design and do chip integration.

Thanks. I have the same idea 🙂 Do you have any metrics of area optimization? For one of my design (~17000 gates) I got ~70% density at Innovus and at least 20% at OL.
