Memory allocation error using Windows OS #2337
Description
Intro
Hi!
I am a PhD student at the Polytechnic University of Turin, I use MuJoCo for my research on muscle activity estimation.
I encountered a memory allocation error using Windows that is not present when running the same code with the same PC using WSL. Below is a minimal script to reproduce the error with the arm26.xml model.
CC involved collaborators: @vikashplus @vittorione94
My setup
Python: 3.11.7
Mujoco: 3.2.6
OS: Windows 10
PC: Dell XPS 13 9310 (16GB RAM)
What's happening? What did you expect?
When running the code attached below using Windows, I get mujoco.FatalError: Could not allocate memory at the i-th instance of MjData, despite the RAM being used by the process is lower than the available (<2GB used, >4GB available). When I run the same code using WSL on the same PC there are no errors if I have RAM available (I also report that the code is about 10 times faster in this case).
I would expect not to have this error if I still have memory available.
Steps for reproduction
Run the code below using Windows OS.
Minimal model for reproduction
arm26.xml
minimal XML
