[Databionic-ESOM-User] Out of memory

[Lizzy W. <egw...@uc...>]

Hi there folks,

I'm trying to run ESOM training on a large dataset and am running into
issues with the java memory allocation.  When I begin my k-batch training
it gives the following error while trying to load the .lrn file:

out of memory, try adjusting -Xmx in esomstart[.bat] (Java heap space)


I edited a line in the esomstart script to read as follows, and have also
tried higher memory allocations (up to -Xmx10240m):  java -cp "$CP"
-Xmx1024m $MAIN "$@"

Sadly, this doesn't seem to be changing how the program runs, as it uses
only about 500Mb of memory and then stops with the error.  Am I editing the
right file to change the memory allocation?  Does something else need to be
changed as well?  I have tried running both from the command line with
esomtrn and using the GUI via esomana.  Any suggestions would be much
appreciated!

Thanks!
Lizzy
