Description (last modified by jeroens) (diff)

If every cell is converted into a region Ecospace may run out of memory on larger maps (I used the TampaBay 2km scenario)

The functionality to convert every cell into a region has been disabled on Ecospace until this issue is solved.

Add warning on potential memory issues

comment:7 Changed 14 years ago by jeroens

The software will throw a warning prompt if this operation results in creation of more than 500 regions. It's arbitrary, but probably ok for now until we have a better solution.

I have also added error handling to the memory allocation in cEcospaceDataStructures that posts a messages in there is a memory exception. This warns the user and stops Ecospace from running.

It's getting better... still not a solution...

  • Status changed from new to closed
  • Version changed from 6.3.1 to 6.4.3
  • Resolution set to fixed

Input and output arrays in Ecospace have been converted to sparse arrays. Not all of Ecospace has been taken care of, but this has reduced the chances of out of memory errors significantly.
