It's not the "demo system" (ie python code) that is stopping processes demanding too much memory, it is the operating system kernel. I think these interrupted processes result in error messages appearing in the logs, like segmentation faults, so if you did not see error messages I think it's not a memory problem. To be sure, we would need an example of the input data and settings. > Therefore, I forward this question to the @Tech team (and also the > Discuss list): should we allow the programs to use more resources? > 1Gb is clearly too small for Noise Estimation and Denoising demos, > even for small images. 1Gb is what we ask to the authors and the general rule in the softeware guidelines. But on the demo server, the limit is at 4Gb. (cf /etc/init.d/ipol_demo) And for the general discussion, could you elaborate on why denoising methods need more than 1G memory? I have no opinion on this point, but I would like to understand where this memory need comes from. 1Gb is more than 130 million double-precision variables. -- Nicolas LIMARE - CMLA - ENS Cachan http://limare.perso.math.cnrs.fr/ IPOL journal http://www.ipol.im/ -> image processing, reproducible research, open science
