I guess Alex talks about a Moose image. With Moose we can easily get to quite large images with millions of objects. For Windows, we indeed had a problem with the VM that Igor fixed. At that time, the problem appeared in images of over 200MB that could not be reopened (could be built, but once closed could not be reopened). I do not know what the status is with 500 MB. But, I also guess that Alex refers to the default values for memory when running the VM. Is that correct Alex? Cheers, Doru On 24 Nov 2011, at 07:27, Francois Stephany wrote:
I'm wondering: how big is a dataset > 500MB ? I've no idea how big it is. Alex, what is your use case (in practice!) for more than 500MB?

It is problematic, and requires different memory management than we currently have. I think if you need really big data sets, then use gemstone, which is developed to deal with that specifically.
