That's a very good question! I have no idea but let us know if you find out...

  Yes, it looks like a memory problem. But why a small change in spacing will increase the memory consumption?

  Then I don't see what else could be the problem. If it's a GPU memory issue, you'll see it by adding the following command
     {                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
      size_t free, used, total;
      cudaMemGetInfo(&free, &total);
      used = total - free;

      std::cout << std::endl;
      std::cout << "------------- Device memory usage ------------" << std::endl;
      std::cout << "Total memory = " << total << " bytes" << std::endl;
      std::cout << "Free memory = " << free << " bytes" << std::endl;
      std::cout << "Used memory = " << used << " bytes" << std::endl;
      std::cout << "Used memory = " << (used * 100.0 / total) << "%" << std::endl;
      std::cout << "----------------------------------------------" << std::endl;
      std::cout << std::endl;
    }

  before the crashing command. If the memory is the issue, then I'm not sure I understand why either, I quite agree with your comments. If it's not a memory issue, then I don't know what's the problem...

    Thank you.
    I kept the dimension to the same value. I think reducing the spacing will need less rows in the projections, because the physical length will reduce with the spacing.
    Interestingly, it also works if I use 0.0462 instead of 0.04623 as spacing.
    Yes, I use –subsetsize=1 and –division=2 while –lowmem enabled. The origin is always updated with –0.5*spacing*(size-1);

    Hi,

    From this page, you have

CUFFT_ALLOC_FAILED   = 2,  //  cuFFT failed to allocate GPU or CPU memoryThis is not suprising that you have a GPU memory issue when decreasing the spacing because a finer volume spacing might require  more rows of the projections for the reconstruction and therefore you can end up with being out of memory. Try processing one projection at a time with --subsetsize 1. If it's still too large, you'll have to change your --dimension to process a smaller volume in the y direction.

      Dear rtk users/developers,

      I was testing the rtkfdk.exe application.
      The program ran into an error and caught an exception saying:
      “
      itk::ExceptionObject (00000000002EEA60)
      Location: "unknown"
      File: C:/Users/liy/root/RTK/code/rtkCudaFFTRampImageFilter.cu
      Line: 97
      Description: itk::ERROR: CUFFT ERROR #2”
      To save you a trip to the documentation, Line: 97 is here:
      “
      if(fftDimension.z==1)
          result = cufftPlan2d(&fftFwd, inputDimension.y, inputDimension.x, CUFFT_R2C);
        else
          result = cufftPlan3d(&fftFwd, inputDimension.z, inputDimension.y, inputDimension.x, CUFFT_R2C);
        CUFFT_CHECK_ERROR(result);
      “

      This occurred when --spacing=0.04623, while the program works just fine if I use --spacing=0.05.
      Is there anyone can help me with this?

      Best regards,
      Louie
