Hi Mohammad,<br>
<br>
I have recently seen leaks when processing many time steps using LIC
rep, where the memory usage grows with each time step processed.
This leak was either caused or exaggerated by having display lists
on. Turning display lists off allowed me to process the 500 time
steps. Unfortunately without display lists it's not interactive
(5-10 min per render) so I switched to using pvbatch scripts. I
reported this issue. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=12251">http://www.paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=12251</a> I
don't know if that is the same leak you have experienced as I was
using the LIC representation.<br>
<br>
I have also had problems with the surface rep and seen similar
behavior to what you describe with the surface represenation memory
usage grows drastically (for 300 MB vector field consumption peaked
around 8GB) and PV takes a looooong time to render. 9 times out of
10 ParaView crashes after this due to segfault not OOM condition.
For me slice rep works far better rendering the same data very
quickly. I filed a bug report earlier this week about this crash.

the same issue.<br>

<div>I'm just wondering if anyone else is also having memory
problems with PV 3.10.1 64bit on linux? It happens that when I
use PV for a a couple of days and I leave it open, for some
reason it keeps consuming memory and not releasing it even
after deleting the objects in the pipeline viewer. Another
issue is when I zoom into a surface plot and PV starts just
using so much resources that eventually I have to kill the
process. I have witnessed about %40-50 on 8GB machine for a
relatively small dataset (~ 300 MB) and all I was doing was
just surface plot of some quantity. </div>

<div>I don't remember any such problem with PV 3.6 and 3.8
before.</div>
