[gradsusr] optimization of memory in grads

Hi, this is my first post to the grads list. I'm a biologist that has 
been working with grads for the last months, but now I'm facing memory 
problems.


I'm trying to run a  script with 43825 times and seven variables.

I'm doing a series of arithmetical functions in between the variables, 
and generating more variables.

And I'm constantly getting memory dumps. "Unable to allocate data 
memory" "Size of request was 946620000 grid elements"

So apart of finding a good RAM computer, (I'm working in a 8 GB ram WK 
and have problems) I was wondering if somebody can guide me through 
documentation and tricks on how to optimize the scrip to save RAM.

I also have access to supercomputation and CUDA machines, does anyone 
have worked with this type of systems in GRADS

Thanks in advance  for your help
