Win 8 consumer overview allocation of memory

I installed Win 8 in VM Player 4.0 on a laptop of HP under Win 7 Professional 32-bit with 4 GB of ram. (Yes, I know that Win 7 32 bit can only use 3 GB of ram).

I initially allocated 2 GB ram (Max recommended) to win 8 and it ran OK, but there seems to be a lot of beating HD (HD swap?) past. I have reset the settings of virtual computer to allocate only 1 GB (recommended) to win 8 and it seemed to work much better. less derouillee and more rapid response when running win 8.

So the question is: why to win 8 runs faster with less ram?  Is that because it uses only the "excess" 1 GB of ram that does not use Win 7? When I got the 2 GB allocated, he fought with Win 7 for memory space?

> So the question is: why to win 8 runs faster with less ram?

This is normal - each VM will go faster if you assign as little RAM if necessary

  • Allocation of memory - unlimited option resources

    Looking for assistance with a script that will run on all virtual machines and show where the unlimited option is checked/not checked for the allocation of memory resources.  Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you

    You can get a list of virtual machines and the setting of memory resource allocation with:

    Get-VM | `
    Get-VMResourceConfiguration | `
    Select-Object @{N="Name";E={(Get-View $_.vmid).name}},MemLimitMB
    

    If the value of MemLimitMB is - 1, this means unlimited.

  • Allocation of memory for a class system (avoid new/delete)

    My plugin has been crashing a lot, but only under Windows. I realized that the culprit is in my code for the creation of a bitmap GDI + drawing.

    The code I use is:

    ...

    Bitmap image * tempImg = NULL;

    try {}

    tempImg = new Bitmap (width, height, bitmap_bytes_per_rowL, PixelFormat32bppPARGB, reinterpret_cast < BYTE * > (bitmap_dataP));

    } catch (A_long & e) {}

    Return PF_Err_OUT_OF_MEMORY;    Assuming that...

    }

    If (tempImg! = NULL) {}

    canvas = Graphics::FromImage (tempImg);

    delete tempImg;

    }

    In this case, bitmap_bytes_per_rowL has been calculated before, and bitmap_dataP refers to the memory correctly allocated (via host_new_handle()) where the drawing will happen. tempImg is an object Bitmap GDI + Windows, that is only used to create the object Graphics "canvas." Once it has achieved its objectives, it will be deleted.

    I'm 99% sure that it is the cause of my crashes. It crashes all the time and it is more likely when the code is compiled in release mode.

    So, I have two options:

    -Allocation of memory for the Bitmap object using host_new_handle (sizeof (Bitmap)), and lock up the handle to get a pointer to my bitmap object. Problem, it is, how to initialize, because I will no longer use the keyword "new"?

    -Create my Graphics 'canvas' object without starting by creating a Bitmap object. That would be my preferred method, but the only other way to create a Graphics object is via an HDC and HWND, neither of which I know how to access and then how do I associate my (real) memory of drawing?

    Thanks for the tips!

    Christian

    what you are looking for is called a 'new place '.

  • Allocation of memory in ESXi 3.5 problem

    Hello

    Before I switched to using ESXi 3.5 to host my VM guest, I used VMware Server 1.0.6 to the guest virtual machines. However, I think that

    the VMServer could not allocate correct memory that I specified in the virtual machine settings, for example, I put 3 GB of memory to a guest

    OS, but I found that only 1200 MB of memory was allocated in the ohter handler.

    So I now use ESXi 3.5 to host 3 VMs, ESXi 3.5 host has 8 GB of memory, two of these VMs have the allocation of memory 1 800 MB and 4 GB.

    However, on ESXi console, I found that me, the 'use of memory of comments' are only 450MB and 778 MB only.

    It's really out of my expectation, it seems that the memory on the VMware product management is the same.

    Does anyone know how fix memory use such as ESXi comments will not control the dynamic memory allocation?

    In our case, it is not necessary to adjust the consumption of memory intelligently by ESXi from time to time.

    I have attached some screenshots for your reference to screen and hope that the screens are useful to explain the problem.

    Thank you for your kind attention,

  • Allocation of memory consumes items regarding the generations

    Hello

    I am trying to understand how the GC and VJM address allocation and GC of large objects. I strive to be able to do the following:

    1 start with a small lot size
    2 allocate large object-> results by increasing the size of the heap
    3 stop using large object
    4 run GC and ultimately without the large object and also reduction of the size of the heap
    5 you end up with a size of small piles

    To achieve the above, I'm trying to get the object to be allocated to the part of the younger generation.

    a. However, although I put the - XX: MaxNewSize = to a value greater than the size of the object, based on - verbose: gc output, the object is given in the part of the generation tenure, and after GCed, the size of the heap does not decrease.
    b. If I put the value-XX: NewSize = to a value larger than the size of the object, and then based on - verbose: gc output, the object is indeed attributed to the part of the younger generation. However, the heap is not diminished after GCing of the object, because it is the minimum size is set to a value too large.

    Y at - it a bug in the behavior above - especially in one. ? Given that - XX: MaxNewSize = is greater than the size of the object, the virtual machine to increase the size of the part, rather than to assign the object as a Professor, I would have expected.

    I was also wondering if there is another way to get the desired behavior.

    Best wishes

    Although largely correct, a common misconception is that this will result in memory "rejection" to the BONE. This is not the case. Actually virtual memory is allocated to the JVM on start up (to maximum size) however that this memory is used allocate pages of real memory to the JVM. When you reduce consumption, "free" memory reported by the operating system will not change. The virtual memory of the application has not changed and the real memory will be released to other applications if they require it (your memory "liberated" may be reversed on the disk that will be a big hit to your application if you need it again)

    a. However, although I put the - XX: MaxNewSize = to a value greater than the size of the object, based on - verbose: gc output, the object is given in the part of the generation tenure, and after GCed, the size of the heap does not decrease.

    You should see the amount of free memory in the increase of the jVM.

    Y at - it a bug in the behavior above - especially in one. ?

    No, the JAVA virtual machine has always worked this way as it is the number of channels C works.

    Given that - XX: MaxNewSize = is greater than the size of the object, the virtual machine to increase the size of the part, rather than to assign the object as a Professor, I would have expected.

    He will place always large objects in space holds no matter how big the NewSize is. BTW: the new size is the sum of the eden and the spaces of two survivors. You need the new size large enough to make the free eden is superior to your object until it had a chance (or decrease your ratio of survivor)

    I was also wondering if there is another way to get the desired behavior.

    My suggestion would be to not allocate and release the large objects repeatedly. If possible, recycle and reuse large objects so they are created once at startup.

  • JDeveloper integrated WebLogic Server consumes large amounts of memory

    Hello

    WebLogic: 10.3.6.0

    JDeveloper Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.7.0_GENERIC_130226.1400.6493

    JDK: Sun JVM (1.6) 64-bit

    O/s on the Machine running JDeveloper: Windows XP 64-bit

    Memory on the Machine running JDeveloper: 8GB

    I use the following settings in the my WLS integrated setDomainEnv.cmd file to manage the size of heap.

    -Xms256m-Xmx1024m - XX: CompileThreshold = 8000 - XX: PermSize = 256 m - XX: MaxPermSize = 512 m

    Run a page simple jspx containing ADF task flows results in use of heap around 400 MB when listening via jconsole.  After completing the re-execution of the page (right click-> run) the memory used by java process continues to grow, but the use of heap does not change.  Although the definition of a maximum segment size of 1 GB, the java process regularly consume more than 2 GB of memory on the computer when monitored via the Task Manager.

    When the java process memory arrives at this size it is not possible to stop the WLS integrated with JDeveloper, the terminate function is simply suspended, and the java process must be killed in Task Manager.  In addition this behavior causes high memory virtual page files accumulate on the machine (> 5 GB) that finally kills performance.

    Can anyone offer an overview of this behavior?

    The Sun HotSpot JVM memory is split into 3 areas of memory (Java Heap, heap and native heap PermGen):

    Java Heap space - HotSpot VM ~ models Support of Java EE

    "PermGen" means 'Permanent Generation', which comes from the fact that this segment is never garbage collected (i.e. the memory of objects created in this heap Java never came out). The JVM creates one objects that should not die, for example instances of class and class method. Every time that you run the application, a new instance of the Web application is deployed on the server. Each new instance of the application has its own class loader, which causes the JVM create new instances of the class class and method in the PermGen space. As has been said, the segment memory PermGen is never garbage collected, so the memory occupied by instances of class and method of the previous application instance is not released. If you redeploy (for example, execution of JDev) a large number of times, the PermGen space will get finally out of memory and the application server hangs.

    -Xms256m-Xmx1024m - XX: PermSize = 256 m - XX: MaxPermSize = 512 m

    Although the definition of a maximum segment size of 1 GB, the java process regularly consume more than 2 GB of memory on the computer when monitored via the Task Manager.

    You have specified a lot of Java 1 GB, but there are also a bunch of PermGen separated from 512 MB. Also the JVM consumes little native memory for the native heap, and the process of the JVM itself needs some native memory to launch and run. All this had formed the value of 2 GB that you saw in the Manager of tasks of your machine.

  • Allocation of memory in Windows Server 2003 Enterprise

    Hello

    I have installed Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition x 86 with 4 GB of RAM in a virtual machine running on ESX

    3.5 and the VM shows that 3.75 GB of RAM allocated. He also

    Watch he uses physical address Extension.How is possible to get this server to see the full 4 GB of RAM. RegardsDave

    Short answer is you can't.  It is based on the Intel Architecture.  It depends on the chipset and other factors, but basically the 32-bit operating system has a limitation in the 4 GB limit.  If Intel has planned no people would use this amount of memory in the x 86 original, therefore that the limitation exists.  Missing memory is tied up in video memory and other things that must be less than the limit of 4 GB.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/279151

    SYMPTOMS

    If you use a computer that has more than 4 gigabytes (GB) of memory installed, system, Microsoft System Diagnostics (WinMSD) properties or other system utilities declare a value of memory which is 256 megabytes (MB) less than the total physical memory that is installed.

    Back to top

    CAUSE

    This problem can occur if a server uses the Intel Profusion chipset. In the dead (ROM) computer memory, memory 256 MB high region is reserved for mapped devices in memory of input/output (i/o). The amount of physical memory reserved may increase according to the number of devices of e/s that are installed on the computer. In general, a computer that has 4 gigabytes (GB) of memory real physics looks as if it has 3.84 GB physical memory total.

    The Profusion of Intel is a chipset eight-way symmetric multiple processing which is designed for enterprise-level server programs. It focuses on the power of raw processing and IO high speed performance that are commonly found in servers Dell, Compaq, Hewlett-Packard (HP) and 8-way IBM. The amount of memory consumed can be greater than 256 MB; However, the memory increases by increments of 256 MB.

    ____________________________________________

    "The MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo probably uses the Intel 945 PM chipset, which can physically handle the 4 GB of DDR2 RAM. However, a number of items that should be stored in and what RAM reached 4 GB physical RAM space, there are overlaps. In other words, in a configuration 3 GB of RAM, there is no overlap with the ranges of memory required for some features of the system. However, between 3 and 4 GB system memory tries to occupy space that is already assigned to these functions. For example, the allocation of PCI Express RAM occurs at a place about 3.5 GB of RAM and requires 256 MB of RAM. Thus, the virtual space between 3.75 GB of RAM and 3.5 GB of RAM is occupied by the PCI Express data. In a system with 3 GB of RAM, so nothing is wasted because the space required by PCI Express memory is always between 3.5 and 3.75 GB and installed system RAM does not violate this space. The net result is that at least 3 GB of RAM must be fully accessible, so that installing 4 GB of RAM, ~ 700 MB of RAM is bunk critical system functions, making it not addressable by the system. »

  • Allocation of memory to the VM

    I have a Windows 2003 virtual machine with memory following values:

    Memory active: 357MB, granted memory: 2 GB.

    When I look in the Task Manager I see a process uses 1.2 GB of RAM.

    How it is possible to have a process consuming 1.2 GB if Active memory is 357 MB? The VM not the paging memory inside the guest OS.

    What you see in the Task Manager, is the amount of virtual memory is allocated/paid to the process.  This does not mean that memory is very active.  In addition, memory is granted in pieces, and therefore generally a page is marked in memory for the entire piece.  Thus, pieces is awarded under a page are marked.  Thus, memory granted to a process does not always mean memory actively used.

  • allocation of memory for the pointer in the dll

    Hello

    I am very new to LabVIEW and I was struggling with the third scheduled dll long enough. I am able to configure the device (but with a view of the insufficient resources error code), get the number of connected sensors and the ID of the sensor. But I can't receive data between the device and I think it might be the memory allocation problem.

    I use LabVIEW 2015 32-bit on Windows 10.

    This is the documentation provided by the seller, and the apdm_ctx_t seems to be a void pointer based on the API (typedef Sub apdm_ctx_t)

    APDM_EXPORT apdm_ctx_t apdm_ctx_allocate_new_context (void)
    Allocates memory a handful to be used by the libraries of the apdm.
    Returns
    Zero on success, zero otherwise

    Based on a previous post, I set up the return of the function above to be signed pointer size whole. And the following functions will receive this digital context and pass by value.

    In the attached png, the apdm_get_next_record requires a complicated structure. I have to do as a cluster and supply the function node (see figure).

    The sequence of the vi follows the Matlab code provided by the seller. I have no idea why the vi keeps returning the error code: no data received.

    Any thoughts would be great and I can give you more information if necessary. Thank you!

    Looking briefly at the provided code that I don't see glaring errors. Are you really sure that you do not have misinterprete all return as failuree values or maybe something in your actual System Setup prevents you to get the values you expect?

    You haven't really explained what you think you should get and what you get instead. The matlab example only also shows the use of apdm_ctx_autoconfigure_devices_and_accesspoint5() while you use apdm_ctx_autoconfigure_devices_and_accesspoint4() which I guess is not a big problem, as the example of Matlab is that pass an additional parameter to 0 to the function. However this example shows quite how you're supposed to call apdm_ctx_get_next_record() and then calls apdm_exit() to the end as you do anywhere.

    For now, it seems more a problem with the use of the functions of your DLL in the decree that something that should be fixed in nodes of library call to access your DLL and correctly. A suggestion to improve the screw, you have now would be to actually do the appropriate error handling. for now, these functions have nothing to do with the return value of functions. The right way would be to check the documentation and if a function returns or the return parameter can indicate an error for actually cause the error cluster spread a significant error code endorsements. And all functions except those which is intended to release all resources must have a business structure that incoming error, does nothing and doesn't send the error through.

    But don't blindly assume that, since the function 1 return 0, not for a mistake that all other functions are too. Some might actually return the number of resources found or whatever with 0 to indicate an error or no resources.

  • allocation of memory for a LStrHandle

    Hello

    I know that this thing about memory allocation and LStrings has been much already posted but I couldn t find the answer to my question.

    Currently I am working with an external code (c ++) and calling a function of vi.

    I want normal c ++ channels:

    (1) declaring normal c ++ string

    (2) conversion c ++ string in a Lstring + pass it as Lstringhandle (this works very well!)

    (3) initialize a Lstrhandle for my result (it would work very well if I knew that the length of the resultant Lstring! but because the application is set to call ANY function of vi I don't know what the function and so I do not know the length of the result string)

    My problem is really basic, but how do I get the actual length of the modified LString?

    Let´s tell my function of vi concatenates 2 strings and returns the result, then the signature of my vi-function should look like this:

    void __cdecl Concat (LstrHandle * string1, LStrHandle * string2, LStrHandle result);

    at some point, so I need to know the length of the result.

    Any ideas?

    (it is important that the strings are Lstrings and they are passed as pointers!)

    I've tried usinig labviews functions of manager, but this won't work for all of the problem this toddler is integrated.

    I appreciate the ideas and help!

    Thank you...

    If your function receives the string1 and string2 as input and returns the result, then the first two by reference and by value, it seems quite a bit back.

    Because string1 and string2 are entered, the function is supposed to use, they must be defined and allocated in any case properly by the appellant. But for output handles passed by reference, it is quite valid in LabVIEW since on version 6 to pass a NULL handle and LabVIEW code takes care of allocating a new handle in this case.

    So basically if you declare your function like that when, you create your LabVIEW DLLS:

    void __cdecl Concat (string1, string2 LStrHandle, LStrHandle LStrHandle * result);

    It is quite valid to call this function like this in your C code:

    LStrHandle string1; initialization of a string

    LStrHandle string2; initialization of a string

    Result LStrHandle = NULL;

    Concat (string1, string2, & result);

    and the result will contain a valid string descriptor on successful return.

    If the output parameter is declared by the value, then you obviously can't pass in a NULL handle because the function has no way to return a new handle. Then, you will indeed need to allocate an empty descriptor like this:

    LStrHandle result2 = (LStrHandle) DSNewHClr (sizeof (int32));

    This allocates a handle with the place for the numElm value and initializes it to 0.
