hello!

i was trying out the new clijx-assistant (which is a game changer btw) and after crashing once while trying to do a background subtraction, i can’t open it and always get this error on console:

Hi @Rita ,

I’m glad you enjoy playing with your new assistant :slight_smile:

The error message CL_MEM_OBJECT_ALLOCATION_FAILURE suggests that the so called OpenCl-context died which controls operations on your GPU. If you can share details of the last step you did before and which GPU hardware you are using, I could help you further with preventing the issue.

After the crash, the only thing you can do is restarting: Either whole Fiji (that’s easier sometimes) or clij. To restart clij, use the menu Plugins > ImageJ on GPU (CLIJx) > Change default CL device (experimental).

Furthermore, the whole issue might be memory-limit-related. Keep an eye on how much memory the assistant is using with the menu Plugins > ImageJ on GPU (CLIJx) > GPU memory display (experimental)

Let me know if this helps!

Cheers,
Robert
