General Description: How do I determine the amount of memory used by PAR (and other Xilinx applications)?
Solution
The "XIL_MEMUSAGE" environment variable has been made available for this purpose. When this variable is set, all Xilinx applications will report their memory usages to the screen at the end of execution.
For Workstations: setenv XIL_MEMUSAGE 1
The XIL_MEMUSAGE feature is only available on Workstation platforms. For Windows NT machines, a very nice memory monitor is available in the task manager.
