Re: Memory allocation failure

Hi Mary,

Thanks for your response:)

I have put the data(carma.cam2.h0.2007-02-21-10800.nc) and the NCL script (calc_MarAsia_flx.ncl) under incoming directory. The version of NCL I am running is 4.2.0.a034. I am using a 32-bit system ( Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.1, i386). The error message is as following:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
ncl(7790) malloc: *** vm_allocate(size=2371719168) failed (error code=3)
ncl(7790) malloc: *** error: can't allocate region
ncl(7790) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug
fatal:NclMalloc Failed:[errno=12]:Cannot allocate memory
fatal:_NclBuildArray : Memory allocation failure

fatal:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 38 in file calc_MarAsia_flx.ncl
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Many thanks,
-Lin
