Hello DX users,

I am working with a large dataset generated by high-resolution CT scans. It
consists of 918 slices @ 1024x1024, 16-bit (~1.7Gb). Obviously this causes
huge problems with memory, so I was hoping to make subsets of the data to
regions of interest using the include module. We are currently tweaking our
SGI Origin 3400 to increase the amount of RAM available to dx.

What I was wondering is there any way, other than trial and error, to
estimate the maximum amount of memory required to run a visual program, or
by an individual module. I thought that looking at memory usage in the
message window might do it but that only shows what is cached at the end of
the program. If I only cache one step I can see the memory used by the
results of that step, but I would think that a module like Include may use
more memory than the results it caches.

The modules I have in my programs (that I assume use significant memory) are
- 
Import
Extract
Compute
Statistics
Mark
Include
Unmark
Export
