Re: [PyMOL] System freezes in cause of memory abuse

Christian, PyMOL's default behavior is to pre-compute and cache molecular geometry in RAM. Although this provides optimal performance for small numbers of molecular states, due to RAM usage, it is an unworkable approach for viewing long MD simulations. So, set defer_builds_mode, 3 before loadi

[PyMOL] System freezes in cause of memory abuse

2008-10-12 Thread Christian Seifert
Hi! I'm working with big structures and even bigger trajectories. When I try to load a trajectory, pymol takes the full 2GB RAM and freezes my PC (ubuntu 7.10/gnome/core 2 duo/2 GB RAM). The only way out is pulling the plug. :-( My Question: Is there a possibility to reduce the memory used by pym
