Hi, New SCIFIO I/O system in Fiji/IJ2 automatically detects wether virtual stack is needed according to system memory available and image size (if I understood correctly).
Virtual stack is fine but it always better to work without when you can. For example working with timelapse stacks, sliding time is much faster when image is not a virtual stack (and it makes sense since RAM memory access is much faster than hard drive memory access...). Saying that I noticed something: when I close a big image (no virtual stack because moving time slider is fast), java does not release memory to system (and it's a normal behaviour according to this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22912063/automatically-release-unused-memory-in-imagej-fiji). Now when I load the same kind of image (same size), the JVM should use the free memory released by the previously closed image isn't it ? I have the feeling that it does not because, when I move the time slider on the second image, it's very slow.... Some numbers: - image size : 4.6GB - Fiji memory after start : 0.3GB - Fiji memory after loading first image: 6.9GiB - Fiji memory after closing first image: 6.9GiB - Fiji memory after loading second image: 6.9GiB My hypothesis is that when loading an image, Fiji/SCIFIO look at free memory in the system but not in the JVM. Is that possible ? Did you already noticed that ? PS: I have attached to this mail some properties of my system.
