cdo gridarea Allocation of 948879360 bytes failed
Added by Felipe Colon over 11 years ago
Dear all,
I am trying to obtain the grid cell area of a global netcdf file with a 2.5 arc min resolution. Every time I try I get the following message although:
Allocation of 948879360 bytes failed. [ line 770 file grid.c ]
System error message : Cannot allocate memory
Our system has enough memory to allocate a file of this size. Any thoughts on how to solve the problem will be greatly appreciated.
Felipe

Hi Felipe ,
Can you please upload:
1) a sample of your data (must be < 50MB or a link to download the data)?, and
2) output of "cdo -V"
Those info may help the cdo guys here to identify the problem!
Cheers,
J.

This error message refers only to the allocation of the last block of memory. The total used memory is normally much higher. You can check it in an other terminal with the 'top' command! Data with a 2.5 arc min resolution will need approximately 20GB memory for this CDO operation.
