memory problem

Girault France
Dear all,

 

I've just changed the allocation memory on ImageJ (from 640 to1400MB).
Now I want to edit a macro on the program, install and run it but when I
run it, the macro quits... I don't know why... Just before having
changed the allocation of the memory, I did exactly the same thing and
the macro was running...

Does anybody have an idea about this problem?

 

Thanks a lot,

 

france

Hi,

The FAQ doesn't answer the original question (unless you consider the
cryptic sentence "Strangely enough, allocating more memory to ImageJ
reduces the amount of memory available for loading images!" an
answer...).

It sounds to me like it might be related to other problems mentioned
previously on the list:
    https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0608&L=IMAGEJ&P=R10300&I=-3

France, try decreasing the memory allocation incrementally until the
problem goes away. Even if that works, though, I really have no idea
what causes problems like yours.

Hi Curtis,

Maybe that bit is out of date, but it came from Wayne -- who should know what
he is talking about :-)  :

https://list.nih.gov/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0110&L=IMAGEJ&P=R469&I=-3

I think that the first sentence of the FAQ points to a possible solution.
(Isn't this also what you are suggesting?):

The original post did not specify what platform, OS, Java or IJ version, or
more importantly RAM available. So pointing to the FAQ seemed to me the
simplest way to help.

If you have suggestions for that (or any other) FAQ, you can also help
improving them.
Please fell free to modify and add to it (the FAQs can be modified by anybody
who wishes to do so (there is an approval mechanism but only to prevent
vandalism to the site, as happened recently).
Registration is free. :-)

Cheers,

G.

Thanks a lot for these replies... It seems to be due to my processor which has 1Giga RAM memory. I decrease the allocation for the memory and I can run the macro again....

 

Cheers,

Re: memory problem

There seems to be some system specific factors that determine the max
memory value.  I found that on my system (WinXP SP2, 2.5 GB RAM, virtual
memory 768M-3G, imagej 1.37q), I can only set the -Xmx value up to 1468m.
Anything more than that will cause the error "could not create the Java
virtual machine" by Java Virtual Machine Launcher.  Here is my start
script

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\javaw.exe" -mx1468m -cp
ij.jar;jimi.jar;C:\windows\System32\QTJava.zip ij.ImageJ

Trial and error is how I get to that value.  By the way, running the
script on the commandline did not yield anymore information about
unrecognized option.  Am I missing anything here?
