Error 134 during headmodel computation

Bugs

Hello,

I have an error numbered 134 when running a headmodel computation.

** Error: OpenMEEG call: om_minverser
** "/home/bic/jhan24/.brainstorm/tmp/openmeeg_hm.mat"
** "/home/bic/jhan24/.brainstorm/tmp/openmeeg_hminv.mat"
** OpenMEEG error #134:

** Executing using 4 threads.

** Many OpenMEEG crashes are due to a lack of memory.
** Reduce the number of vertices on each BEM layer and try again.

Here is a dropbox link containing my data and the OpenMEEG tmp folder.

Hello,

I was wondering if you had a chance to look at my data.

Thanks,

@Alexandre Any update?

Hi,

I just tried this on your data:

om_assemble -hm openmeeg.geom openmeeg.cond hm.mat
om_minverser hm.mat hm_inv.mat
om_assemble -dsm openmeeg.geom openmeeg.cond openmeeg_dipoles.txt dsm.mat

It does not produce any crash for me (on a mac). So I don’t know what is happening.

what OS are you using?

We will try to replicate on the same system as yours.

This is not a terminal, dude :slight_smile:

message was sent too fast… I edited now :slight_smile:

I'm so cheeky now and would give my answer here as a software developer to the error. ^^

In your error message you can see the Exception: InflateSkip: inflate returned buffer error was ejected.
You can read more about this here: (Frequently Asked Questions about zlib)

In addition I could see in the error message, which was not the newest compiler version of OpenMEEG used.
Maybe that is a reason too.

@Alexandre would it be better to install the latest OpenMEEG version form http://openmeeg.gforge.inria.fr/download/
that is the version 2.4.0 compiled at Jul 13 2018 16:05:27

and futher more i saw on GitHub the entry (error #-1073741819 · Issue #70 · openmeeg/openmeeg · GitHub).
where the are sugesting that you should not have beyond 10'000 Vertixes in Total. (you have 10'000*3)
So i would suggest degresing the vertices on the head mask and inner and outer skulls. Since these can trigger the inflate buffer error in my opinion if they are too big.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am not using Mac but it’s running on Ubuntu.

I will reduce the number of vertices and retry. What I find puzzling however is that the head model computation ran for all other participants (that have similar/same number of vertices). I would appreciate any insight.

For the subject that did not work, I tried it on my personal mac and it worked…

Thanks,
