Description

With the following example in DynamicConvert, setting OTB_MAX_RAM_HINT=2250 results in:

2018-12-04 14:31:59 (INFO): Estimated memory for full processing: 2299.47MB (avail.: 2250 MB), optimal image partitioning: 2 blocks
2018-12-04 14:31:59 (INFO): Estimation will be performed in 4 blocks of 7168x6144 pixels

But increasing to OTB_MAX_RAM_HINT=4096 results in:

018-12-04 14:32:36 (INFO): Estimated memory for full processing: 1.109e+07MB (avail.: 4096 MB), optimal image partitioning: 2708 blocks
2018-12-04 14:32:36 (INFO): File out_test.tif will be written in 2916 blocks of 205x205 pixels

See full log below.
