Change the memory allocated for the graphics?

Hi, I have an Equium A60-181 with graphics ATi Mobility Radeon 7000. For the moment, that this GPU is using 64 MB of my system RAM that result with only 448 MB of RAM (512-64) for Windows. For a video resolution of 1024 x 768 32 bit it's a ridiculous amount of memory since it only really requires 4 MB for this. I'm not interested in games or 3d graphics, so my question is if I can change the memory allocated to recover more memory system?

see you soon,

Richard S.

HI Richard,

ATi drivers include an improved graphics option devices-> display manager that allows the value of the AMU to change. My SA30 supports load 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB and 128 MB.

The same value UMA adjustable in BIOS Setup Panel.

  • Get the DLL string (memory allocated for DLL)

    Hi, I'm aware there are a lot of discussions around this topic, but there are a lot of variations and I've never used before LabVIEW, and I seem to have a hard time at a very basic level, so I hope someone can help me with the below simple specific test case to put me on the right track before I pull my hair remaining.

    I've created a DLL with a single function "GenerateGreeting". When it is called, it allocates enough memory for the string "Hello World!" \0"at the pGreeting of pointer, copy this string to the pointer and sets the GreetingLength parameter to the number of allocated bytes (in the DLL in the end, I want to use, there is a DLL function to free the memory allocated for this way).

    I created a header file to go with the DLL containing the following line.

    extern __declspec(dllimport) int __stdcall GenerateGreeting(char* &pGreeting, int &GreetingLength);
    

    I then imported the LabVIEW file using the import Shared Library Wizard. That created a "generate Greeting.vi' and everything seems somewhat sensitive for me (although this does not mean a lot right now). When I run the vi, the ' GreetingLength on ' display correctly '13', the length of the string, but "pGreeting out" shows only three or four characters (which vary in each race), place of the string that is expected of junk.

    The pGreeting parameter is set to the 'String' type, the string "String pointer C" format, size currently Minimum of 4095. I think the problem is that the DLL wants to allocate memory for pGreeting; the caller is supposed to pass a unallocated pointer and let the DLL allocates memory for the string the right amount, but LabVIEW expected the DLL to write in its buffer préallouée. How to with LabVIEW? Most of the functions in the DLL in the end, I want to use work this way, so I hope that's possible. Or I have to rewrite all my DLL functions to use buffers allocated by the appellant?

    The vi , header and the DLL are atteched, tips appreciated. Edit - cannot attach the dll or the headers.

    Although char * & pGreeting is actually a thing of C++ (no C compiler I know would accept it) and this basically means that the char pointer is passed as a reference. So, technically, it's a double referenced pointer, however nothing in C++ Specifies that reference parameters should be implemented as a pointer at the hardware level. So free to decide to use some other possible MECHANISM that takes the target CPU architecture support a C compiler constructor. However, for the C++ compilers, I know it's really just syntactic sugar and is implemented internally as a pointer.

    LabVIEW has no type of data that allows to configure this directly. You will have to configure it as a whole size pointer passed as a pointer value and then use a call MoveBlock() or the support VI GetValuePtr() to copy the data on the pointer in a string of LabVIEW.

    AND: You need to know how the DLL allocates the pointer so that you can deallocate it correctly after each call to this function. Otherwise you probably create a leak memory, since you say that the first 4 bytes in the returned buffer always change, this feature seems to assign to each run of a new buffer that you want to deallocate correctly. Unless the DLL uses a Windows such as HeapAlloc() API function for this, it should also export a function according to deallocate the buffer. Functions like malloc() and free() from the C runtime cannot always be applied in the same version between the caller and callee, so that calling free() by calling on a buffer that has been allocated with malloc() in the DLL may not work on the same segment of memory and result in undefined behavior.

  • Satellite L500-1GK - can I change the graphics card?

    HEY! I need help

    I'm a graphic designer and use Satellite L500-1GK. I found that the VGA is not good enough. The resolution is not really good enough for a designer

    Manufacturer of the graphics card: Intel®
    type: Mobile Intel® GMA 4500 M
    memory: available total graphics memory can be up to 1 340 MB with 3 GB of memory and 32-bit operating system system or 1 759 MB with a 64 - bit OS system memory and 4 GB
    memory type: shared

    Is that what I can do to get the best resolution? Whatever he rib that I am able to change the VGA? is there a solution with that can you help me?

    Hello

    Unfortunately it is not possible to change the graphics card. It s fixed/soldered on the motherboard and can't be exchanged. Sorry, but it is not possible to s.

    But if you only need a better resolution of the screen, you can connect an external monitor. Here, you can work with a higher resolution if your monitor supports it.

  • Satellite P850 - how to change the graphics settings in the BIOS?

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P850 and recently met with a gambling problem which required me to change the graphics settings in my BIOS from 64 MB to 128 MB.

    I was able to access my BIOS on my windows 8.1 operating system but when I'm on my BIOS, I can't find where to access the chipsets and change the graphics settings. I looked at all long and hard day for a solution and haven't found one that relate to my BIOS (version 6.70). It would be very appreciated for any help you can offer.

    Data sheet:

    Processor: Intel Core i7
    OS: windows 8.1
    BIOS: 6.70

    Dan.

    Hello Dan

    As far as I know these parameters do not exist and if the laptop has shared memory it runs automatically.
    In the past, that Toshiba has never offered these options in the BIOS, and so far nothing has changed.

  • Satellite L755D-11W: cannot change the graphics chip in the game settings

    Hello

    On my laptop Satellite-L755D-11W, in some games and applications does not change the graphics chip. Otherwise said, at the time to choose the right game, I want to put a high-performance and change AMD Radeon HD 6400 M-> AMD Radeon (TM) HD 6520 G, click Save... but the settings are not saved and the AMD Radeon (TM) HD 6520 G is not selected for the match (())

    This happens not always, but often in the games and 3DMark2011.
    Drivers for video cards are the last who are on the Toshiba Support site.
    Official website of the AMD driver only is not supported (())

    Please help with this problem!

    Hello

    L755D-11W uses the AMD Radeon HD 6470 M graphics chip.
    So what GPU belongs to the Radeon HD64xx series and I don t think you could choose a series superior GPU (AMD Radeon (TM) HD 6520 G) in the properties of the game if the GPU is not supported.

    Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English

    At first, I must say that your English is very good and understandable.
    Back to your question: update graphic card is not possible. The graphics card is part of the motherboard and cannot be exchanged separately.

    Please note that the portable is not so extensible as on desktop computers. The upgrade can be done with RAM or HARD drive very easy, but not with processor or graphics card.

    I recognized with dxdiag that the system uses Intel graphics unit only, but I want to use the AMD graphics unit.

    I can't install the CCC of AMD, because she claims that no device is available. So I checked in the Device Manager if the AMD GPU is recognized, and it is not! All the drivers are installed.
