  2. Find a server size that meets the physical memory requirements for the device family. The Azure* Memory-Optimized EV3 series has instance types with high memory capacity.
    In the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software version 17.1, memory requirements for Intel® Arria® 10 devices range from 18 GB to 48 GB. Intel® Stratix® 10 memory requirements range from 80 GB to 128 GB. For information about other devices, refer to Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software and Device Support Release Notes .
    Note: Machine availability varies with the location of the Azure* datacenter. If the instance type that you want is not available in the current location, select a different location.
  3. Click Select.
Note: In the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, using a machine with a higher number of processors can reduce compilation time. To take advantage of this, specify the number of processors for compilation. For more information, refer to Enabling Multi-Processor Compilation in Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Handbook Volume 1 .
