Trying to process a data set which requires more virtual memory than is available leads to, frustrating “out of memory” errors being displayed. Attempting to increase physical memory or RAM will have no effect on the amount of virtual memory available on a particular Operating System (OS).
64-bit Windows® supports up to 128 GB RAM and 16 TB of virtual memory, 8 TB of which are available to the application. 32-bit Windows is limited to a maximum of 3 GB of virtual memory per application.
This dramatically increases the virtual memory available to Volocity. For Volocity users this increases the maximum data size that may be handled by the application and allows you to drive your research by the demands of your biology and not by the restrictions of technology.
World’s first fully end-to-end 64-bit Spinning Disk Confocal System!
- You can now acquire and analyse on the same system without rebooting from 32-bit to 64-bit Windows or transferring the data across the network to a dedicated analysis system.
- Increased virtual memory will greatly benefit your imaging system.
- Acquisition – The largest single time-point that may be acquired is increased in size.
Increased virtual memory will benefit users of the Volocity products as follows: - Visualization - the size and complexity of data sets which may be rendered by the HR renderer is increased. Greater numbers of time points may be rendered without exceeding the virtual memory of the OS.
- Quantitation – the complexity of measurement protocols applied and the size of data set which may be measured is increased.
- Restoration – the size of data sets which may be deconvolved is increased.
- Comparisons of many memory and calculation intensive operations performed by Volocity have shown Volocity running in the 64-bit environment to be up to 36% faster than Volocity running in the 32-bit environment on the same hardware.
