[vtkusers] Error: "No memory left on the GPU even for a minimal block

[David Hope ARA/SED]

Thanks for the response. Personally I've found Activiz to be useful, but it's only a small amount of what I'm working on that I'm using it or VTK. I do suspect in this instance that the core issue is in VTK itself and probably was resolved in 6.0.

Thanks,
David

Please report it on the vtk bug tracker. http://vtk.org/Bug/my_view_page.php

Please note that unfortunately there hasn't been enough interest to fund Activiz's necessary upkeep and maintenance. Thus the likelihood of this being fixed in any official release is low.

Even so, reporting the issue on the bug tracker will be helpful when someone else who runs into the same problem.

Upon further investigation, here is what I found...

The Activiz wrapper treats the GPU memory size as a "signed int", so the new computer had more than 2GB of GPU memory, so the system believed that it had a negative amount of memory.

I'm not sure if the issue starts/stops at the Activiz wrapper, or is  also in the C++ base code. This is the case in Activiz for VTK 5.8.0, I'm not sure if the issue has been resolved since then.

My workaround is to check to see if the Maximum GPU memory is <0 to set it to 1.9GB, that seems to resolve the issue for me.

How do I report the issue?
