Runtime.GlobalCacheSize Property
Gets or sets the size of the global memory cache.
Syntax
public static System.Int32 GlobalCacheSize { get; set; }Property Value
Default: 300
The maximum total cache size, in MB.
Remarks
This property controls the maximum total size of the global memory cache.
The global memory cache is used by most Carmenta Engine datasets to cache information so it can be quickly retrieved if the same information is requested again. It is also used by a few other components such as OgcWmtsLayer and some visibility operators to cache information that is either expensive or time-consuming to fetch or calculate again.
Components that use the cache will store information in it until it reaches its maximum size. When that happens, objects that haven't been used for some time will automatically be purged from the cache to make room for more recent information.
Please note that all memory usage calculations are only approximations, the actual amount of memory used by the cache may not be exactly what you specify. Also be aware that there are several other caching mechanisms in Carmenta Engine. For instance, TileLayer and OrdinaryLayer with dynamic cache mode may hold visualization information in main memory and/or on the GPU. Some visualizers with a "cacheAsBitmap" property may also hold lots of bitmaps with different rendered versions of a symbol.
