Hi,
any computer is finite, so, there is limitation to everything... What is the available memory size of your computer ?

12 Gb is quite a large number of samples for a single screen, even 4K. The same remark applies to human eyes. Did you try to reduce the size of the data ?

Dear all,

I am trying to open a 12Gb byte sgy/su file using seismic unix, and I get the below error message. 

/home/subbarao/SU43R3/bin/ximage: ealloc.c: malloc failed (Cannot allocate memory)

Is there a file size limitation in SU? or is the error related to display or something? Do I need to change any settings? 

Thank you and look forward to your early response.

Cheers,

Subbarao.
