Signal storage reuse

Reuse signal memory.

Category: Optimization

Default: On

On: Simulink^® software reuses memory buffers allocated to store block input and output signals, reducing the memory requirement of your real-time program.
Off: Simulink software allocates a separate memory buffer for each block's outputs. This makes all block outputs global and unique, which in many cases significantly increases RAM and ROM usage.

This option applies only to signals with storage class Auto.
Signal storage reuse can occur only among signals that have the same data type.
Clearing this option can substantially increase the amount of memory required to simulate large models.
Clear this option if you need to:
- Debug a C-MEX S-function
- Use a Floating Scope or a Floating Scope block with the Floating display option selected to inspect signals in a model that you are debugging
Simulink software opens an error dialog if Signal storage reuse is enabled and you attempt to use a Floating Scope or floating Display block to display a signal whose buffer has been reused.
