[ADMB Users] ARRAY_MEMBLOCK_SIZE

[Mollie Brooks]

Hello ADMB users,

I'm trying to figure out how to increase the ARRAY_MEMBLOCK_SIZE. Is there some trick to it? 

After I clicked on the .exe file generated by running my code, it gave me this error

159456>=150000

 No memory for dvar_vectors

 Need to increase ARRAY_MEMBLOCK_SIZE parameter

In gradient_structure declaration

logout

So I added this line to the end of my .tpl file

TOP_OF_MAIN_SECTION

arrmblsize = 10000000;

after reading here http://otter-rsch.com/cc/cc6.html and in the admb.pdf file.

But this gives me an error that I don't understand. 

*** tpl2cpp   ADMBponds_process3

Error in line 98 while reading

a

Line 98 is the first line of my TOP_OF_MAIN_SECTION. 

Do you have any idea why this gives an error?

The version I'm running is from Nov 2009. I'm using a Mac. 

thanks,

Mollie

It is easier to do this with command line options

myprog -ams nnnnnn

will do the job. there are also options like -gbs and -cbs
for allocating buffers.

Are buffers more automatic than array memblock size? Or are there other benefits to using them?

Try using spaces not tabs in the TOP_OF_MAIN_SECTION

the error is occurring in the tpl2cpp translation.

Thanks for all the help; I'm almost able to run the program now. 

I got the code to compile with Steve's suggestion of this at the end

TOP_OF_MAIN_SECTION

time(&start);

arrmblsize = 50000000;

gradient_structure::set_GRADSTACK_BUFFER_SIZE(1.e7);

gradient_structure::set_CMPDIF_BUFFER_SIZE(1.e7);

gradient_structure::set_MAX_NVAR_OFFSET(5000);

gradient_structure::set_NUM_DEPENDENT_VARIABLES(5000);

But I had to comment out the line time(&start) because I didn't define start.

Also, I had to leave a blank line after the last line. 

Now I'm getting a warning about the line arrmblsize = 50000000;

warning: integer constant is too large for 'long' type

Is this a problem?
