I am not an FPGA or Vivado expert, but I tried to do the same thing. I believe Vivado is limited to 4 cores, so sadly, it seems like your best bet is to get a quad-core with the fastest clock you can find. I think AWS just released a "frequency-optimized" instance family. Maybe take a look at that.
Ultimately, Vivado sucks for not supporting arbitrary numbers of cores. There's not a small but of irony in a embarrassingly parallel device being developed on a few cores... - Dan On Tue, Jul 24, 2018 at 1:11 PM Jason Matusiak via USRP-users < usrp-users@lists.ettus.com> wrote: > I know Vivado build times are dependent on how optimized you want things > and how utilized the FPGA is, but is there a way to speed up the build > times? > > I started doing my builds on a server thinking it would be a huge boost > from my PC, but I am not really seeing a difference.
