Programs that use a lot of RAM

Hi. I'm a researcher from university of California. In our lab we use wine to convert brain images to a proprietary format. Wine works perfectly for smaller images, but for very large image that use more than 128-256GB of RAM wine fails with this message.

This is an example invocation command:

Code: Select all

WINEDEBUG=-all GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.malloc.hugetlb=2 wine imaris/ImarisConvertiv.exe --input /media/yang_server/HDD_RAID0/LS_PreProcess/20230907_9x_stitched/20230907_9x/img_000000.tif --output /media/yang_server/HDD_RAID0/LS_PreProcess/20230907_9x_stitched/20230907_9x.ims --inputformat TiffSeries --nthreads 128 --compression 3 --voxelsize 0.70-0.70-0.70 --logprogress

Error message:

Code: Select all

wine: Call from 000000007B011E0E to unimplemented function msvcp140.dll.?_Throw_C_error@std@@YAXH@Z, aborting
wine: Unimplemented function msvcp140.dll.?_Throw_C_error@std@@YAXH@Z called at address 000000007B011E0E (thread 00a8), starting debugger...

I have read the forum extensively and non of solutions worked for us. I was wondering is it possible to allow wine to use Terabytes of RAM, which we already have in our Ubuntu servers? Do you have any idea how to approach this problem in Linux?
