hi there, about bsgs

There are some inconsistency in your numbers, but let me explain in simple way.

You need to first see how much RAM you are going to use. That's how you decide bPfile elements.
Let's say i have a 32GB RAM in my system of which approx 25GB is free. rest is used by OS and other programs.
Then my bloomfile can not be more than 25GB.

By using, 1 billion elements i get 5GB bloom. So it means, i should approx make 4.5 billion (4,500,000,000) elements to run in 32GB system.

bPfile each 1 element is 32 byte. So 4.5 billion items will make 144 GB bPfile which will be converted into 23GB bloomfile and that will be used in your RAM. That is the way to proceed.

hi thanks so much for explaining, i am having another issue, can it use more then 1 cpu when creating the bpfile bpfile_2_blooom_dll.py is not using more cpus then one whatever i tried, and that one has only got 10% usage. but now if having 320GB bpfile, and bloom is now 46GB then it means with 192 ram it should be good i guess, now i am gonna do a 1.2t 138GB Bloom thank you., but is very slowly creating the file, all cpus enabled with 24 but nogo there, or 16 or 8 or 4 still only 1 cpu used. thanks again sir. but with the cpu's not being used it takes loong time like a week easy for the bpfile. is there an issue on my side, i have been using it on 1 system right now, but slow.

If you are in windows, the development branch has a script which creates bloom in batch. But still 1 cpu. As filling bloom in different threads has a huge overhead of modification all the time.
This is faster than current main branch script. In case you are still doing big files.
