- In a network of mine, I'm repeatedly running a loop that sequences
- through time, interpolates a time slice, renders, then records to video.
-
- After about 200 or so frames (time slices), the machine bogs down, and
- starts thrashing. The order of execution gets strange, things slow
- down severely, etc.
-
- I assume I must have filled up available memory some how and I've started
- paging heavily.
-
- One of my modules creates a new lattice with cxLatNew, and returns a pointer
- to the lattice which goes to the module output port. I assumed that the
- Explorer executive would automatically free this lattice for me. Is that
- incorrect? Should I be keeping this pointer as a global variable, and doing
- a cxDataFree on it before creating new lattices?
-
- Thanks
