title: Huge memory usage in Xilinx Vivado
body: <p>Vivado consumes all of the free memory space in my machine during synthesis and for this reason, the machine either hangs or crashes after a while.</p>
  <p>I encountered this issue when using Vivado 2018.1 on Windows 10 (w/ 8GB RAM) and Vivado 2020.1 on CentOS 7 (w/ 16GB RAM).</p>
  <p>Is there any option in Vivado to limit its memory usage?</p>
