lazza79 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 (edited) Hi guys, I am a beginner with Houdini and I have a strange problem. Yesterday night, I ran a simulation on my Mac (twice) and everything went fine. Today, I tried to run the same simulation on a PC (windows 7 and the same amount of ram) and Houdini slowly ate all the ram and crashed the app. Any ideas? There are some parameters to change/optimize? Thank you for your help. best regards, Lazza79 Edited September 28, 2015 by lazza79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazza79 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hmmm, looks like I solved the problem thanks to a related post ( http://forums.odforce.net/topic/23185-flip-simulation-investing-in-a-new-gpu/). Now the ram seems stable. It looks like that 'cache simulation' parameter is not working properly... Thank you anyway guys. I'll post another question Cheers, Lazza79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 if you can use linux, do that. i find windows not to be very happy with how houdini likes to do things -- particularly with ram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazza79 Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 I usually use MacOSX (very similar to Linux), sometimes I use my PC in office as a "rendering machine". Thank you for the advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
