[Paraview] Ongoing Work to Release Unused Memory from Pipeline

[Michael Jackson]

Is there any ongoing or upcoming work in ParaView to have some sort of option to dispose of unused memory from filters that are higher up in the pipeline? We are thinking of basing our Materials Science based software package on VTK and then make the filters available in ParaView but our data sets are already pushing the memory limits of "PCs". Having multiple copies of the data in memory would just make a bad situation worse for us. I know if I write my own pipeline in VTK I can manually dispose of memory from each pipeline step. Just wandering if this type of capability is going to be exposed in someway in an upcoming version of ParaView.

Thanks
