I've been trying to build into an EM-density map using WinCoot and the program keeps crashing when
manipulating the model or density.
Using a .mrc seems to work fine, it is only when I use a .mtz that the program crashes upon manipulating
objects.
I'd prefer to use the .mtz for the ability to "on-the-fly" filter/sharpen.
The computer I'm using has a dedicated nvidia quadro K2200, 64GB ram, and a
Xeon E5-2630 v4.
I was wondering is the size of the .mtz was overwhelming and if a solution would be to somehow segment it
into more manageable pieces.
I suspect that is what is happening. Yes, you can create map fragments based around the origin. WinCoot is
32bit and runs out of memory (2GB limit I think).
How can I check if the system resources are limiting WinCoot or if the crashes
are for some other reason.
What does coot say when it crashes? that will help in the diagnosis.
