Hi, I am new to SA tools. After I installed the software following the instruction, I tried to run the test case for TN. When running ‘generate\_surrogates.csh’, the program crashed with the following error. I turned on the ‘debug’ option, but didn’t get more useful information. Could you please me to figure out the problem? Thanks!

Since you are new at SA tool. I would like for you to use our new SA tool using postgreSQL/postGIS. The older version of SA tool could run into this segmentation fault due to the size of shapefiles as well as the size of memory required. Here is the information of new PG surrogate tool. > **[CMASCenter/Spatial-Allocator](https://github.com/CMASCenter/Spatial-Allocator/tree/master/pg_srgtools)** > > Surrogate Tools, Raster Tools, and Vector Tools Open Source GIS - CMASCenter/Spatial-Allocator ---

Thanks for your suggestion, and I will try it. Another question, in the shapefile\_catalogy.csv file, I found some data from emiss\_shp2003/2010/2014. Where can I download these shapefiles? Hao ---

Make sure you use gov.epa.surrogate. **ppg.Main** package, not gov.epa.surrogate.SurrogateTool. gov.epa.surrogate.SurrogateTool package is used for gap filling and old surrogate tools. ---

I was out of town for a few days, so it took me a while to respond; sorry. Recail that there are several different generations of Intel processors, each with its own instruction set: they keep adding new arithmetic instructions that are potentially faster, but are not backwards compatible (i.e., don’t run on previous-generation processors). For example, the AVX2 vector instructions introduced with Haswell-generation processors are potentially twice as fast as the previous-generation’s AVX vector instructions for the right kind of computations, which are again potentially twice as fast as the two-generations-before-that SSE4.2 instructions. > [@haohe.umcp](#): > > Illegal instruction (core dumped) This is what happens when you try to run a program that uses later-model instructions on an earlier-model processor. What generation of processor are you using (_cat /proc/cpuinfo_ will tell you that, in rather more detail than you probably want…), and what processor-generation was the program-executable compiled for? (how to determine this varies from compiler to compiler…) ---

Hi, I found a lot of the shapefiles listed in the US\_SpatialSurrogate\_Workbook\_v093013 in [https://gaftp.epa.gov/Air/emismod/2011/v3platform/spatial\_surrogates/shapefiles/](https://gaftp.epa.gov/Air/emismod/2011/v3platform/spatial_surrogates/shapefiles/) and in [[Google Drive - Virus scan warning](https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B4Gx-y00i4D0MGoyNHRKTFNMNHc&export=download) ]. However, I am missing the following shapefiles. state\_pophu02 drycleaner\_surrogate drycleaner\_surrogate\_1\_29 drycleaner\_surrogate\_30\_56 exits gas\_station\_1\_29 gas\_station\_30\_56 gas\_station\_surrogate mjrrds Ports\_081412 transterm us\_lw2k us\_oilgas. Where can I find these files and is there one place where I can download all the shapefiles listed in the surrogate\_Specification script for either 2011/2014/2016 years? Any lead is appreciated. Thanks, Sham ---
