Sci2 Manual : 3.4 Memory Allocation
This page last changed on Mar 28, 2011 by dapolley.
Due to the constraints of the Java virtual machine, the amount of memory available to a Java application must be determined before the application starts. The current default allotment of 350 Megabytes is a balance between providing enough memory for most uses of the tool, while not causing the Sci2 Tool to crash on machines with too little memory. For most analyses this amount should be enough, but for larger scale operations this amount should be increased to make full use of your systems available memory 3.4.1 Windows and LinuxOpen the file "scipolicy.ini" in your Sci2 directory, using a simple text editor such as Notepad: The file should contain the following three lines (if not, add them):
3.4.2 MacConfigure the nwb.ini file inside the Sci2 Tool application bundle. Open the Sci2 Tool application folder and control + click on the scipolicy icon. Select 'Show Package Contents' from the menu.
This should bring up another window with a folder labeled 'Contents.' Open the 'Contents' folder and then open the 'MacOS' folder found inside. Open the 'nwb.ini' file in TextEdit or other text editor that will leave the contents as plain text.
To enable the Sci2 Tool to access more memory, increase the number following '-Xmx' in the 'scipolicy.ini' file. If the value is increased too much, the Sci2 Tool will not function.
