Temporal statistics crashes with thousands of timesteps

ParaView Support
1

Hello everyone,

I am working on a dataset of around 8,000 VTP files each representing a timestep.

I wish to cumulate their data over time, but when using Temporal Statistics filter, Paraview crashes. The best I could do was to extract 900 timesteps and use the filter. More than 900 and it would crash.

Does anybody have a workaround? The end result is to take a screenshot of the average result.

Thanks!

Are you running out of memory ?

Hello,

I don’t think so, each file is around 400KB for a total of less than 2GB. I am running Paraview 5.13 on Windows 10 with 96 GB of RAM.

Indeed, please share your data.

Hello,

Here is a link with 2800 files (I have not processed every file yet) but the issue is the same.

Hello,

FYI, the dataset I shared works with Temporal Statistics on Paraview 5.10 (I have tried 5.13 and 5.12 without success before posting).

Works fine with ParaView 5.13.1 afaics:

(tested using ParaView 5.13.1 binary release for Linux)

Hey again,

Paraview 5.13.1 still crashes on Windows 10. For context, I am trying to configure a macro that will be shared across computers running Windows, so Linux is not an option. WSL or any emulation is also unavailable.

Paraview 5.10.0 processes the 8000 files in less than a minute, I cannot figure out why. My preferences are identical for both versions.

Is this GUI related, or the file reader differs? What could I try to work around this issue?

Thanks for your help!

Then I need to test on Windows

That would be great, thanks for taking the time.

Hello Mathieu,

Have you found the time to test things out on Windows? Thanks for the help!

Hey again,

I have tested the latest nightly build of Paraview with the dataset shared previously, still crashes. Any idea? Thanks!

Adding some observations that might be useful. I tested on Windows 11 and not Windows 10.

  • 5.10.0 works like a charm (Windows 11, prebuilt binary PV)
  • 5.12.0 crashes when the filter is applied. (Windows 11, prebuilt binary PV)
  • 5.13.1 crashes when the filter is applied. (Windows 11, prebuilt binary PV)

Logs (from 5.13.1) is attached below:
paraviewError.log (3.0 KB)
paraviewMAXlog.log (1.7 MB)
