Memory sharing with OSX

My apologies if this has been answered elsewhere; I could not find.

My Mac is running OSX with 2 GB of memory.  If I assign 1 GB to WinXP under Fusion, Windows works well.

Question: When I stopped merger & Windows, the 1 GB that I attributed to Windows become available for OSX.  In other words, OSX allows all of the 2 GB of memory when Fusion/Windows do not work?

Thank you.

Hello

When you shut down your virtual machine, the memory returns to OS X. So I wouldn't call it share in the form of your virtual machine uses or OS X uses memory, but Yes your host machine will return the memory.

  • See very low memory sharing with ESXi

    We have recently migrated our environment of ESX4 on the G5 to ESXi4.1 on HPDL380G7 HPDL385 and I see what I consider very low memory sharing levels, and I wanted a second opinion on this.

    Today, I put two of our hosts in maintenance mode to strengthen the cluster a little just to make sure it wasn't because of the very spread machines crash on in all directions.

    A rapid formation of installation - the cluster has two pools of resources, Production and DevTest.  Both are expandable and unlimited, DevTest for low values, and Production other than high values.

    When I look at the summary of the list of resources, I see pretty much what I expect with DevTest, 11GO shared, but the production, which contains 5 times more machines, share only about 1 GB.

    When I run ESXTop on the host, even when running in memory of 88%, with many of the same type of operating system on the machine, I see only 1 GB of PSHARE on counters.  That seems very low, and I need some direction that where to start the search.

    I have attached a few files of what I see as well.

    ESXiTopMemShare is a the memory page on ESXTop showing the low value of Pshare.

    Dev_test_mem shows the preview of the list of resources to development/test.

    Production_memory shows the preview of the list of production resources

    Guest_OS displays the type and the number of operating systems running on the host that the screenshot of memory ESXiTop is extracted - showing in fact there are many similar systems running on the host computer.

    Your new CPU will use large pages, who do not - when you hit the claim of memory, these pages will be converted to smaller ones that will begin to share.

  • Tecra R850 - How can I reduce the memory shared graphics card?

    Hi all

    I need help with a few questions:
    My system says I have 2, 66 GB RAM available for applications, services, etc. The rest (between 1.1 and 1.3 GB of RAM) is shared and reserved for the graphics card. I looked for a way to reduce it through the BIOS (how it works normally), tried an update for the bios jumps that he would add this feature. But it wasn't the case.

    I don't understand why Toshiba won't allow its customers to modifity this setting!
    I can understand putting such a context by default, but also giving an option for advanced users to change this setting.

    2, 66 GB RAM are not very good and I often need more than that... 500 MB more of RAM for sys would be really nice.
    And 64 bit OSs don't are currently not supported in our society.

    Does anyone know if a way to reduce the memory shared to 500 MB for example?

    My system features:

    Windows 7 Pro SP1 (32-bit)
    Model: TECRA R850
    SERIALNO. : 7B042670H
    PartNo. : PT525E-03E00KGR

    Thank you in advanced for your answers!

    As far as I know shared memory works automatically and laptop user cannot control it.
    There is nothing new and the same principle is on all Toshiba laptops.

    Sorry but there is nothing to do about it.

  • Graphics memory shared in a Satellite A200-1CK

    Hello, I have a Satellite A200-1CK which has 2 GB of RAM and 256 MB graphics memory shared.

    is there a way to check how my phone is currently using this 256 MB and you can manually change this?

    for example, to define graphics for always using 128 MB memory if the laptop needs or not?

    I already checked with google and I found a few sites that say you can change something like that in the BIOS but I can't find.

    Thank you

    Jeroen

    Hello

    When I try to play a game that requires 128 MB graphic memory it does not even start. In theory I should be able to play the game, since I have enough memory. Or is it fake? Shared memory is perhaps not as real graphic memory. Can someone explain?

    There are different reasons why starting a game doesn t.
    Maybe a graphics driver is not compatible?
    Generally shared memory graphics cards are not really designed for games. Of course, some older games would go but with the games recent very strong graphics cards needs.

    I agree with alphaleader. Shared memory will be allocated automatically. She shared max value depends on the amount of installed RAM memory.

  • Satellite P100-286 - video RAM shared with RAM system

    Hello

    First note that I m French sorry for the bad English, I can use.

    I have a satellite P100-286 - PSPAGE (T7200 @ 2 GHz, 2 GB DDR2, Gef7900GS) and I noticed that some of the RAM (exactly 271MB) was reserved for the graphics card.

    I think that the graphics card has enough memory with its 512 MB, so I don't want to have a part of my RAM to be reserved for the Geforce. I have not found the way to reassign this small part of the system in the bios, and it is independent of the OS (I use Vista and debian and I see the booking even on memtest86) so I ve tried to flash with the latest BIOS but no change.

    Is there a way to 'recover' my memory?

    Thank you

    Additional question for fans of Linux: why can not I get sound on my laptop running Linux? :'(
    It seems that there is no error, but there is no sound even if the sound card, the "HDA Intel", seems to work perfectly, even with the latest updates of the kernel and alsa.
    I tried several Linux distributions, including Suse and Mandriva.

    Hello
    Unfortunately you can not affect the amount of memory shared by yourself since it is regulated by the BIOS/Chipset and depends on the amount of main memory that is installed.

    As far as I know that the shared memory is allocated flexible, which means that if a graphical application needs a graphics memory more then the system returns to the 271 MB shared memory. That's what I know of my machine... but I don't know, it might be different on other models.

    Otherwise I have no information on this shared memory thing. You can also see this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_Memory_Architecture

    Dear Kumar,

    I suggest you to check the FND_NODES table

    1) connect to SQLPLUS as the APPS user and execute the following statement:

    Select CONCURRENT_QUEUE_NAME in the FND_CONCURRENT_QUEUES where CONCURRENT_QUEUE_NAME like '% FNDSM ';

    (2) If you have found that FND_NODES table with entries incorrect node (old node from the Source Instance), and then run the query to clean below

    EXEC FND_CONC_CLONE. SETUP_CLEAN;
    COMMIT;

    (3) then run AutoConfig on all stages, firstly on the DB layer then APPS and webtiers levels to repopulate the necessary system tables,

    and make sure that you are now able to see the correct entries in the FND_NODES table and start the application services.

    Kind regards

  • Have new IMac with OSX El Capitan 10.11.1.Firefox crashes at startup, no response to the mouse.

    You just bought a new IMAC. It came with OSX El Capitan 10.11.1. I used Time Machine to restore all my data and information. All deferred fine, and all my software works very well. EXCEPT FIREFOX - Version 42.0. He hangs up with a white screen at startup. Sometimes it starts and Yahoo my home screen appears, but does not recognize my mouse and does not take into account my mouse click on everything. Sometimes (rarely) Firefox start. Unfortunately, if I get out, the next time I'm daydreaming, the same white screen, etc.

    If the Album has been synchronized from your computer using iTunes, then make a new synchronization without the selected album.
