Gigabyte Missing for Workspace Calculation

Irish

Hello Anaplanners,

 

I am currently working on a size simulation model. The purpose is to reproduce the "model info" shown in a model and apply some changes (create new module, extend a time range...) to see the impact on the model size.

I have already calculated the cell counts of my source model but I am not matching the size in Gigabytes.

The cell count from the source module matches well with my cell count calculated by format.

Please see attached, a screenshot of the “OUTPUT FORMAT MODULE”. I have also included in my calculation the list members (500bytes/item)

Sourced Module is 3.17 GB with 440 million cell count.

I calculated the 440 million (Checked) but it represents only 3.04 GB and I am left with 0.13 GB uncalculated (~3%), See attached “Output in GB”

 

I need your assistance and please let me know if I am missing any step that uses space.

 

Thanks,

Irish

List subsets will take same size of lists. This can be one potential reason for deviation

Hello @Irish ,

Please search for more answers in the community, but I believe that there could be a small portion of space that can be used as buffer.

Although not directly connected, this is a case for Anaplan making use of some buffer memory (link)

Cheers!

https://community.anaplan.com/profile/BrunoRodriguez Thanks for your swift reply, i didnt know about that buffer. It can consume up to 3% of the total GB consumption. i will surely have a look to the link. have you ever gone through this situation?

You may be missing:

• List properties
• Subsets
• Switchover may also impact your final result as a reduction of cells
