Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
Cheung, 17 gb is well below the limit for a Netcdf 64-bit offset file. Also, violating a size limit would probably result in an error message, not a program hang. You can review the size limits here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/netcdf/Large-File-Support.html There are many possible causes for excessive run time. I suggest inserting print statements into your program to monitor its progress and narrow down the location of the problem. --Dave On Sun, Jun 16, 2013 at 1:45 AM, Cheung <zuibeidemei@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Dear all: > > My program writes a large netcdf file, and becomes > stuck for a very long time during the process (untill I finally kill it), > > the generated file is about 17gb.
