Re: [Help-glpk] 200Mb of Tables - xmalloc error

[Xypron]

Hello Andrew,

for "0;" csv needs only two bytes. A double in C needs 8 bytes. Add pointers
in linked lists, memory for building the constraints in GMPL, memory for the
model in the GLPK library, and so forth. Yes reading the model into GMPL will
need a whole lot more memory than your CSV file.

GLPK runs fine on 64bit. So you might just try on a bigger machine.

Given 200 Mb of raw data you may have to write a program that directly calls
the GLPK library. If you do not like C, there is a good choice of language
bindings available, see
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GLPK

Hello,

 

I'm running a Windows XP 32bit with 1.95 Gb of RAM.

 

I'm am trying to build a model using .csv files, but am running out of memory (see xmalloc error below).

 

What is confusing me is that the combined size of the .csv files is no more than 200 Mb; when I hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and watch memory consumption in the 'performance' window CPU Usage does not crack 60% and PF Usage gets to 2.58 Gb when glpk stops building and the error pops up. It doesn't seem like a model of this size should exhaust my RAM, and the performance readings suggest it isn't. However, the error remains.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be happening?

 

Cheers,

Andrew
