I have a user who runs very large finite element/finite difference
codes on our Alphaserver 8400/350. We want to have him able to have access to
3 of the 4 GBytes of memory. I have used sysconfigtab files to increase the
hard limits to 3GB. The user has set his soft limits to use the 3GB, and when
he does a limit or ulimit command, the display for datasize shows that in both
hard and soft limits, he should be able to get 3GB. But when he goes to run his
code, he always gets an error, out of memory. So, he wrote a little malloc
program, and seems he hits the wall at around 1.07 GB. Any ideas?
