<div>To increase the memory allocation above the stadard 2 gig (to say 3 gig):<br />grads -m 3000000 <br /><br />The -m option must be specified when grads is started. <br /><br />Set it in the BAT file you use to kick off you batch jobs like:<br /><br />grads -m 3000000 -blc 'script.gs'</div>
<div></div>
<div>The amount of RAM you allocate is a function of the amount of RAM installed and available on your machine. </div>
<div>In your example, you're trying to allocate 20 gig. </div>

<div></div>
<p>All,</p>
<p> I'd like to make images of some larger datasets so I need to<br /> use e.g., grads -m 20000 to expand the buffer. However, when I<br /> try to use that particular argument in a shell script (instead of<br /> from the command line) the 20000000 trips it up; I've tried a<br /> bunch of combinations and nothing seems to work. Is there another<br /> way to expand the buffer when running in batch mode? Thanks! </p>
<div><br /> Cheers,</div>
