Serial unstructured grid (~22GB) does not load.
Hi,
I have a ~136GB serial .vtu file consisting of 4 arrays:
I am attempting to load one of the arrays which is a scalar Q-criterion field ~22GB (assuming Q, lambda2, pressure are scalars and velocity is a vector3) and render it on the CPU with Ospray:
It loads until up to 1%, 2%, sometimes up to 7%, sometimes up to 40%, freezes for a while and then the app closes without errors.
There is certainly enough RAM:
Also checked the GPU RAM in case the app simultaneously uploaded the data there (although it really shouldn't - what is the point of CPU rendering then), and found that it has 24GBs which is still larger than the dataset + base consumption of Windows:
The file is certainly valid and has been rendered through other means before.
I have tried 5.9.0, 5.8.0, 5.7.0, 5.4.0, 4.4.0, and will keep trying the rest to find a version in which this works.
Please excuse the not-nice comment for the white hairs I grew today: I do not understand how there are publications advertising TB scale rendering with ParaView when I cannot even load a 22GB grid.
