Out of memory

This run-time error is reported when Ultra Fractal is unable to allocate enough memory when running a calculation. This is usually because one of the classes or formulas attempts to allocate a large array.

Tip: Out of memory errors are often caused by Flame Fractals, see www.ultrafractal.com/kb/flamefractals.html.

Example (for a computer with 2 GB of memory installed):

; 8 bytes * 240.000.000 is about 1.9 GB. This is sure to
; cause an out of memory error if only 2 GB of memory is 
; available.

Note: If Ultra Fractal is installed as a 32-bit application on Windows, the amount of available memory is always limited to 2 GB, even if you have more memory installed in your computer. Simply download and install the 64-bit Windows application instead to remove this limit and take advantage of all available memory. On Mac, Ultra Fractal always runs as a 64-bit application.
