Huge memory usage in Xilinx Vivado

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.

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).

Is there any option in Vivado to limit its memory usage?

If this problem happens when you are synthesizing multiple out of context modules, try reducing the Number of Jobs when you start the run.
