Memory Allocation for Mac and Windows

MAF and OpSim can use quite a lot of memory and CPU when running. To ensure your containers do not crash Docker will need to be configured to have access to more memory. Navigate to the Docker settings on your system, then the advanced tab. Increase the Memory bar to 6 - 8 GB if your system has that much.

Note

Running a full 10 year simulation typically requires 25GB of memory so it is unlikely that you will be able to run long simulations on your laptop.
