Out of memory
« on: 2012 November 18 12:54:24 »
Pues estoy intentando hacer un macro mosaico de 16 teselas con la STL11k lo que representa un cuadro de 15000x10000 (600Mb) y cuando intento hacer el GradientMergeMosaic, me salta el error de out of memori.

Tengo un core quad y 4gigas de ram. Windows vista home premium service pack de 64 bits

Alguna idea? O hay que pensar en actualizar el PC o simplemente meterle más RAM.

From what I understand with my basic spanish....:

- 150000*10000*4 (float)*3 (channels)=1.7 GBytes per image
- Windows probably consumes 1 GB
-GradientMergeMosaic requires a couple of internal fields in double precision (8 bytes per number). All in all that could explain your out of memory message

Workarounds:
-You could try to increas the size of your "Virtual Memory" (in extended system settings), but even if that gives you enough space, computations will be *very* slow, because memory access is redirect to you hard disk.
- If possible, try to reduce the size of your mosaic (by downsampling), or by managing each channel separately.

Haciendo uso del buscador del foro, ya veo que el problema es que mis 4gb de RAM  se presumen escasos por lo que o me quedo sin hacer el mosaico (eso nunca!!!!) o bien tocara pasar por caja y ampliar la RAM del PC.
