System RequirementsSystem RequirementsThis section provides information on system memory requirements, cable installation, andother requirements and recommendations.System Memory RecommendationsFor memory recommendations for the ISE Design Suite tools, Operating Systems and Available MemoryThe Microsoft Windows and Linux operating system (OS) architectures have limitations onthe maximum memory available to a Xilinx program. Users targeting the largest devices andmost complex designs may encounter this limitation. The ISE Design Suite has optimizedmemory and enabled support for applications to increase RAM memory available to Xilinxtools.Windows XP Professional 32-bitXilinx applications are enabled to take advantage of the memory increase feature onWindows 32-bit systems. You must then modify Windows setting to get access to this largermemory.The standard Windows OS architecture limits the maximum memory available to a Xilinxprocess to 2 Gigabyte (GB). In Windows XP Professional, Microsoft created an option tosupport the ability of an application to address 3 GB of RAM. Xilinx ISE tools have built-insupport for this option. To take advantage of this capability, you must also modify yourWindows XP OS to enable this feature, which requires that you modify your boot.ini fileby adding a “/3GB” entry to the end of the “startup” line.Before enabling 3 GB support for Xilinx applications, read the Microsoft Knowledge BaseArticle #328269 at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid 328269. If you upgrade yourcomputer to Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) and you are using the /3GB switch, Windowsmay not restart without a patch from Microsoft. See the Xilinx Answer Record 17905 formore information at ditionally, before making this change, read: Microsoft Bulletin id kb;en-us;Q171793, which containsinformation on “Application Use of 4GT RAM Tuning”. Microsoft Bulletin cid kb;en-us;q289022, which containsinstructions for editing your boot.ini file.ISE Design Suite 14 Release NotesUG631 (v14.5) March 20, 2013www.xilinx.com10
