We need RAM size about 3 times of data size. So for 50 GB data,� we need at least 75 GB RAM to process one sideband. Just to be clear.

      Hi Taco,

      For MIR, we need 3x RAM memory to process the data. For this data set, we could only hope to process one sideband a time. CF
      has servers MARS (96 GB RAM) and NEPTUNE (128 GB RAM). Both servers should be able to load one sideband data in IDL unless
     there is any restriction of RAM usage from a single user on CF servers. To load in one sideband, e.g. lsb:

      IDL> readdata,sideband='l'

      Let me know if it works.
