Disk Space and Memory Recommendations
A full installation of the Intel Quartus Prime Standard Edition software requires up to 40 GB of available disk space.
Configure your system to provide additional virtual memory equal to the recommended physical RAM that is required to process your design. This additional virtual memory effectively doubles the total effective memory available to process your design.
Note: Peak virtual memory might exceed these recommendations. These recommendations are based on the amount of physical memory required to achieve runtime within 10% of that achieved on hardware with an infinite amount of RAM.

| Description | Workaround |
| On Microsoft* Windows systems, SDI II Intel FPGA IP design example generation fails with the following error message: | For details and the availability of a fix, refer to Why does the SDI II Intel FPGA IP design example generation fail when using the Intel Quartus Prime Software for Windows? in the Intel FPGA Knowledge Base. |
| Error: Failed to generate example design example_design to:: <design directory>\sdi_ii_0_example_design | |
| On Microsoft Windows systems, the following error occurs when generating an Intel Arria 10 EMIF Example Design for simulation: | You can safely ignore these warning messages. Simulation file sets for Siemens EDA Questa and Aldec
Riviera-PRO simulation software are generated and contain the relevant design files to run the simulation successfully. For more details and the availability of a fix, refer to Why does the Intel Arria 10 EMIF Example Design Generation Fail when using the Intel Quartus Prime Standard Edition Software Version 22.1 for Windows? in the Intel FPGA Knowledge Base. |

| When you use the Intel Arria 10 EMIF IP Skip Calibration mode, simulation of Intel Arria 10 EMIF IP with Siemens EDA Questa simulation software (Siemens EDA Questa Advanced Simulator or Questa-Intel FPGA Edition) can hang. | Use the Abstract PHY for fast simulation
simulation option to prevent the hang. For more details and the availability of a fix, refer to Why does Simulation of Intel Arria 10 EMIF IP in Mentor simulators hang when using Intel Quartus Prime Standard Edition Software version 22.1 in the Intel FPGA Knowledge Base. |
