Google Colab Runtime Configuration

What runtime configuration settings should I be using? I've been getting the following error using the High-RAM machine with GPU accelleration.
=== set device to 0 for 1 simulations ===
Total GPU memory 16914055168 bytes.
Set GPU heap size to be 8457027584 bytes.

John, as you know we cannot replicate your error without your .vxa/d files!
However, in all likelihood this error is from using too small of a heap size. Perhaps try 0.75 or higher, instead of the default 0.5.

Please let us know whether or not that resolves the issue.
(my question was simply about GPU configuration, not asking for debugging help - but now that you offer)
Here is a zip with my vxa, vxd, history, and simulator configuration file. The config file is where I have updated the HeapSize. I'd love it if you could take a peek.
Actually if you are still having this problem, my lab members pointed out that your heapsize might be too large not too small (as I suggested). This is because not everything in the code allocates through the cuda kernel heap.
That did the trick! Lowered HeapSize to 0.25. Thank you!
