What is number of file threshold that can lead to crash

[skyfall]

Hi,

BIAS Integration crashed for 24 files, worked fine with 10 files. Similarly LocalNomalization crashed with 300files, and then crashed with 150 files too. LIGHT ImageIntegration also crashed with 150 LIGHT files. I had added 150 Drizzle files so total file count was 300. These crashes happened consistently. It was happening with TRAIL version of software. I thought may be FULL version is going to be different, but same problems continued.

So what I would like to know what is safe and realistic number of files?

you can reduce the memory footprint of ImageIntegration by adjusting the Buffer Size parameter in ImageIntegration. your DSLR files i'm sure are absolutely huge so the file limit is going to be different for your camera vs. others.

having said that, i'm not sure this is normal behavior. from your error message, the total-vm of PI was 25GB at the time it was killed. it makes me wonder about your swap configuration - it sounds like there is little to no swap available on your system.

Thanks for responding.
I will try increasing swap file size and see.
