[Gate-users] Simulation timing out

[Maxime Chauvin]

Dear Tyrone Te Ruruku,

I have never seen that number before, it may be that you hit the memory limit of your computer and it stops.

On another note, the number 10^10 of primaries you are trying to simulate will not work because of a Geant4/GATE limitation due to the coding of that integer number in signed 32 bits. The maximum number you can set is 2^32/2 = 2147483648 primaries.

Good luck with your simulations,
  Maxime Chauvin

I have stated in my mac file to run 10000000000 <tel:10000000000> but it always stops at 1410065408 <tel:1410065408>. Does anyone know why this is might be happening?
