Resolves #1668
The gist: we have a new
--mem-limit
option which defaults to64
(megabytes). For very large calculations, we divide the work into square-ish regions such that the calculation results of these regions are no larger than the memory limit. For example, to runrio calc "(asarray (read 1 1), (* (read 1 2) 1.1), (read 1 3))"
(boosts the green band of an RGB image by 10%) on a 7000 x 7000 pixel 3-band uint8 dataset without chunking would require--mem-limit=148
. With the default 64 MB memory limit, the work would be done in 4 chunks.
