Dear managers,
I am trying to run a Fortran application in our Alphaserver 4100,
OSF4.0D, with 1 Gb RAM and 3 Gb swap space. The application run fine on
the same machine a couple of months ago, but now it crashes saying that it
can not allocate enough memory from the heap (it needs 400 Mb). Since the
application, the data, and the machine configuration and use load are the
same as before, we are quite puzzled about this. Moreover, I have run
another application that required 800 Mb and it run fine. I have run
dxproctuner to try to see if there was anything weird going on, and the
only thing weird I see is the kernel's virtual memory size is 658 Mb. Now,
my question is: is this normal? Or, does it mean something is wrong? Could
it have anything at all to do with our problem? We rebooted the machine
and the 658 Mb are still there.
Any advice appreciated,
Carmen
