I have a problem with shared memory when reading in large datasets. For instance, I have a 256^3 byte dataset that I read into a field. I get an error msg like the following: /udir/gudrun/avs/EDI2/read_volume: can't put field in shared memory: shmget: Invalid argument It then goes and copies data from mod to mod. Bad. Looking in the dev. man. it says that some platforms may have restrictions, and to look in the release notes. But, I didn;t see any such restriction in the release notes for AVS on DECstations. I have a DECstation 5000, and my shared memory parameters (smseg and smmax) are double what AVS installation recommends. Can someone tell me why I get this error, and is there anyway for it to use shared mem for datasets this large?
