Description

Hi Chris,

I can't simulate with approx. more than 40,000 muon events, getting the error shown below:

(MAUS release version 0.4.1) verbose set to debug.

INPUT: Setting up input
PIPELINE: Get event, TRANSFORM, MERGE, OUTPUT, repeat
HINT: MAUS will process 1 event only at first...
MERGE: Setting up merger
TRANSFORM: Setting up transformer
Written 1 event(s) to file.
Written 1 event(s) to file.
Opening TFile Sim_0mm_1MeVc_50000mu_1e-08nsec_IV_Fe_m1__m0.4.1_MuSc__.root
Opening TFile using existing tree Spill
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): St9bad_alloc

and no output is given. All the scripts work fine for say 30k events. Any ideas? Cards attached.

Thanks,

Tim

Sorry for the delay in replying, my brain was stuck in other stuff. So the problem is memory usage I believe. You have 50k particles in a single spill, MAUS buffers data spill-by-spill so it holds all the data for a particular spill in memory at a given time. The problem is that data associated with 50k particles actually have quite a large memory footprint. So you should split the spill up into several smaller spills to make this work... sorry about that.
