Soeven if you could increase it there is NO reason to have more than 256Mb. It would never be used and even worse: it would make it -slower-: 3D accelerated graphics is rendered by the host, not the guest, so increasing the guest graphics RAM takes it away from the host.

Essentially this feature allows to directly use physical PCI devices on the host by the guest even if host doesn't have drivers for this particular device. Both, regular PCI and some PCI Express cards, are supported. AGP and certain PCI Express cards are not supported at the moment if they rely on GART (Graphics Address Remapping Table) unit programming for texture management as it does rather non-trivial operations with pages remapping interfering with IOMMU. This limitation may be lifted in future releases.


256mb is just too small for many applications, not just games. The other answer says its enough for an 8 x 4k displays, maybe (i highly doubt it will run at all well). Some software will disable features when less than 1GB of VRAM is available.


To my knowledge GTX 16 series have it with smaller sizes only not sure about RTX 2000. ReBarUEFI is open source you can edit the source code to add a supported sizes override like what is done for the Sapphire 5600 XT Pulse (code is taken from Linux and it had the override for that GPU) ReBarUEFI/ReBar.c at master xCuri0/ReBarUEFI GitHub. You can read the PCIe 3.0 spec to see where the bits have to be set in the supported sizes for each size.


Most practice problems run on the older cluster of limit 256mb and array size limit will most probably be around 6 * 10^7 which occupies around 230-240mb of memory. i have tried [10^5][600]and it has worked for me.

Most of the current contests run on the newer cluster of size 1.5 gb but limits for maximum size of a single array is still around 10^7 to 10^8 as it is very difficult to allot contiguous memory locations . However as total memory limit is around 1.5 gb , you may be able to declare around multiple (5 or 6) arrays of this length .


@anonymousins Usually if you are taking the array for i/p and that doesnt require manipulation, simply take a variable of the specified datatype and overwrite it the number of times required. I mean this .


My best guess is ideone restricts the amount of global memory accessible to users while the full 256 mb can be used for local variables/arrays. This might be done to easily manage each submission locally as it will prevent everyone from using too much common memory.


The Alchitry Au+ is the \""gold\"" standard for FPGA development boards and it\'s possibly one of the strongest boards of its type on the market. The Au+ substitutes a more robust & scalable FPGA chip (Xilinx XC7A100T) that allows for more complex application circuits. The number of Configurable logic blocks (LABs/CLBs), Logic Elements, and total RAM bits are all nearly 3x that of the standard Au; see \""Features\"" for more details.


FPGAs, or Field-Programmable Gate Arrays, are an advanced development board type for engineers and hobbyists alike to experience the next step in programming with electronics. The Au+ continues the trend of more affordable and increasingly powerful FPGA boards arriving each year. This board will allow your project to grow beyond the typical starting points for FPGAs. Finally, now that this board is built by SparkFun, we added a Qwiic connector for easy I2C integration!


The Alchitry Au+ features a Xilinx Artix 7 XC7A100T FPGA with over 100k logic cells and 256MB of DDR3 RAM. The Au+ offers 102 3.3V logic level IO pins, 20 of which can be switched to 1.8V; Nine differential analog inputs; Eight general purpose LEDs; a 100MHz on-board clock that can be manipulated internally by the FPGA; a USB-C connector to configure and power the board; and a USB to serial interface for data transfer. To make getting started even easier, all Alchitry boards have full Lucid support, a built in library of useful components to use in your project, and a debugger!


By adding stackable expansion boards similar to shields or HATs called \""Elements,\"" the Alchitry Au is able to expand its own hardware capabilities by adding prototyping spaces, buttons, LEDs, and more!
