Hi,
Trying to run the pipeline using the recent Joshua version 6.0. I am getting following error. I have tried setting the all the Xmx values to 2g by default in joshua-6.0.5/scripts/training/run_tuner.py. But that is also not helping.

I am on 4GB RAM ubuntu system. 

 cmd=/home/prakash/smt/joshua/joshua-6.0.5/scripts/training/run_tuner.py /home/prakash/smt/joshua/joshua-6.0.5/examples/data/tune/corpus.hi /home/prakash/smt/joshua/joshua-6.0.5/examples/data/tune/corpus.en --tunedir /home/prakash/smt/joshua/joshua-6.0.5/examples/tune --tuner mert --decoder /home/prakash/smt/joshua/joshua-6.0.5/examples/tune/decoder_command --decoder-config /home/prakash/smt/joshua/joshua-6.0.5/examples/tune/joshua.config --decoder-output-file /home/prakash/smt/joshua/joshua-6.0.5/examples/tune/output.nbest --decoder-log-file /home/prakash/smt/joshua/joshua-6.0.5/examples/tune/joshua.log --iterations 15 --metric 'BLEU 4 closest'

    raise CalledProcessError(retcode, cmd, output=output)


I am using this to run the pipeline:
$JOSHUA/bin/pipeline.pl --rundir .  --type hiero --tune input/t --test input/t --corpus input/t --source hi  --target en --lmfile english50k.lm.blm --no-corpus-lm --joshua-mem 2g


Please help.
Thank you.

What version of Joshua do you have installed?

It looks like run_tuner.py has hard-coded 4gb for MERT. Change that line in the file and see if that helps.

I am using joshua 6. I have changed all hardcoded 4g to 2g. But not worked. I think the value is being picked up from tune/joshua.config but there is no such value as 4g. Please suggest.

I figured out that and it was hard coded in $JOSHUA/bin/joshua-decoder

## memory usage; default is 4 GB
mem=2g

That particular error has went away. Thank you for help.
