Is There a Maximum Amount of RAM Loaded Per Core on the Processors

I hope I'm asking this question in the correct group.
We use AutoCAD Civil 3D which only uses one core of a multicore processor.
We seemed to have reached an impasse with AutoCAD and Windows with RAM usage.  It appears that Windows will only load a maximum of 15.8GB RAM into the first core of a Intel Xenon or Intel I7 processor. 
We have a rather large drawing that is roughly 48GB in size.  This drawing opens on all the tested systems in about 33 minutes on a xenon system with 16 GB RAM, xenon system with 32GB RAM, I7 system with 32GB RAM and an overclocked I7 system
with 64GB RAM. The OS is Windows 7 64 bit and Windows 8.1 Pro.
Watching the resources on all the machines during the drawing opening the network throughput varies from 100Gbps to 500Gbps and when the first core reaches a maximum of 15.8GB RAM the throughput drops to around 72Kbps!  These results are almost identical
on 4 different setups with RAM ranging from 16GB-64GB.
The 16GB system pulls all available RAM, 32GB and 64GB systems would only pull at the most 15.8GB to the first core.
Is this 16GB core limitation a Windows issue or an AutoCAD issue?  AutoCAD is telling us we may have reached the core limit in windows.
Regards.

Hi,
As I know, there are 3 factors that limit the highest RAM amount your computer is able to see: 32 bit or 64 bit CPU, RAM limit of OS and RAM limit of motherboard. for CPU, 32 bit CPU can only has a limited 4 GB RAM, while 64 bit windows can has more RAM,
depends on the Windwos Version (you should also exclude some RAM used by audio\video\network memory). and motherboard manufacturer is the important one who decides the maximum RAM amount that can be supported, the only sure way to know is to consult your motherboard
manual\view the manufacture website\contact the manufacture.

  • Maximum amount of RAM on Y570 and Z570

    What is the maximum amount of RAM that the Y570 and the Z570 can support? Is it 8GB or 16GB?

     
    velenoso666,
    I think you are all right - this is peer to peer support, and customers / non-employees who participate here do provide the vast majority of the answers.  I think that is actually a really good thing, and it makes sense if you think about all the different possible scenarios - combinations of various software, OS versions, 3rd party option accessories, and environments being used.   
    Indeed, I think Lenovo does learn from our customers in many ways, and I think that is a good thing too.  I continue to be impressed by the kinds of people here - many who are engineers or professionals with advanced degrees,  some like AndyP who work on our systems on a daily basis (and have for years) based on their "day jobs" , and some who may just be brilliant on their own account.   
    In terms of providing "official answers" when it comes to specs, we have to answer based on reference doccuments - PSREF sheets, content on support or marketing site (except when a mistake is noted there).
    When it comes to memory or HDD compatibility - the official answers are what is published, and those come from a combination of the test plan and the products that we sell at the time the spec was published.   For example, if we didn't sell an 8 GB module, it may well work, but we may not have tested.   We have to provide an answer for what we are prepared to support through engineering.
    In many cases, the community may report that things actually do work in configurations beyond which Lenovo offiicially supports, and I think that's a good thing too.  Another value for having our customers pool their knowledge and experience here.
    Thanks for your feedback and suggestions / knowlege you share with others here.
     

  • What is the maximum amount of RAM I can install in a late 2011 Macbook Pro 17"?

    What is the maximum amount of RAM I can install and will be suported in a late 2011 Macbook Pro 17"?

    Although Apple states a maximum of 8 GB, OWC (macsales.com) has tested 16 GB, so if you want to install 16 GB, I'd go with OWC as they tested it and do guarantee their RAM to work with Macs.

  • Maximum Amount/Defult Value as per the company in Travel Exp Type

    Hi Experts,
    I want to maintain the Maximum amounts/Default values as per the company code in Travel Expense Types. Can any please suggest me whether is this possible if yes how.
    Thanks
    Srinivas
    Edited by: SrinivasFICO2010 on Jun 23, 2010 11:38 AM

    Hi Srinivas,
    Follow the below path:
    SAP Customizing Implementation Guide > Financial Accounting (New) > Travel Management > Travel Expenses > Master Data > Travel Expense Types > Define Maximum Rates and Default Values for Expense Types.
    Maintain your rates here per expense types.
    Note that you cannot maintain per company code here, you have to maintain per Trip Provision Variant. In Travel Management, most of the settings are per trip provision variant and not per company code.
    Hope this helps.

  • Maximum Amount of Ram

    I recall reading, somewhere, something that gave me the impression that there was a limit to the total amount of RAM that one can have in a MacBook Pro, and any computer really.
    Is this true? And if it is, how can I tell what the maximum amount is that I can put in my computer, or if someone can simply tell me, that works too.

    A recommendation for your consideration:
    3rd Party sources have you remove the one or two 4Gig cards you have now in your MBP and replace with one(1) with their 8Gig card or two (2) of their 8Gig cards for a total of 16Gigs.
    MBP has only 2 memory card slots on 17" MBP (early 2011)
    Higher density RAM will be available hence even higher RAM options in the near future.
    Big time question would be :"is this an appropriate "upgrade" from a cost-benefit perspective"!!
    One wants to optimize NOT maximize in all choices.
    Let 'er rip and...

  • Whats the maximum amount of ram and storage space i can fit into my 13" matchbook pro (early 2011)

    I am looking to upgrade my mackbook pro and was wondering what's the highest amount of ram and maximum amount of hard drive space i can get.
    also whats a good brand i should use for both ram and hard drive.

    I like Hitachi (HGST) and have 6 of them in my inventory.  I never had any WD drives and there are some who do not speak well of them who's opinions I respect.
    I also have many Seagate HDDs and currently have 1 TB Seagate SSHDs in my MBPs.  They are performing satisfactorily.
    Ciao.

  • An global maximum amount limit for single payments made via the ACH

    Hi
    Can any one guide how to config the gobal maximum amount limit for a single payments made via the ACH  (Automated Clearing House) network.
    Pl do the needful.
    thank you.

    Hi Tony,
    Not exactly the solution, but going forward you can try split the invoices and process it separately at the time of invoicing itself. Otherwise you can try the option installment payment terms, but there may be at least one day difference in payment.

  • Is there a noticable difference between G5 and Intel Core 2 Duo-processor?

    Just wondering...
    I have a G5 iMac and came across the Intel Core 2 Duo-processor 24" 2.66GHz. Will I notice a big difference between these 2 models?
    André

    I swapped from a G5 2.1MHz iSight with 2.5GB RAM to 2009 iMac 24" 2.66 MHz with 4GB of DDR3.
    The difference was HUGE.
    Now with Snow Leopard as well things have only got faster (or appear to at least)
    The whole system is more responsive, less spinning beach ball and rendering a 40 minute TV programme to MP4 only takes about 2 minutes!
    I used to have time to make a cup of coffee and catch the news headlines!
    Enjoy the new machine.

  • Is there a Maximum amount of USB and Firewire Ports that can be added?

    Can someone tell me if there is a maximum number of USB or Firewire ports
    that can be added to an iMac by using hubs? I sometimes find myself running
    short and wonder how this can be corrected. Also, the new iMac has
    one Firewire--is there such a thing as a Firewire hub? Thanks for any info.

    I think the exact numbers are: 
    USB. Up to 127 devices, including the hub devices, may be connected to a single host controller. iMac G4's have two controllers between the three ports (the port next to the modem has it's own controller shared with the modem(which also counts as a device)).
    Firewire. 63 devices daisy-chained or though hubs one of which is the computer.
    Most Firewire devices have two or more ports so you can daisy-chain the connections without a hub.

  • What is the maximum amount of RAM allowed for a HP Pavilion dv6-7010eo?

    Wanting to upgrade the RAM in our Pavilion dv6-7010eo running Window 7 (64 bit).
    Have read some conflicting information.. Some say that this model supports 16GB (2x8GB) whereas other say that it only supports 8GB (2x4GB)... 
    What is correct? 8GB or 16GB?

    Every place I can find information about your actual laptop dv6-7010eo, not 7010us, it says 8 gb max. 

  • What is the maximum amount of ram I can upgrade to?

    I've tried looking into this but I guess i'm not very good at finding things sadly.
    My notebook is a "hp pavilion dv6-6b26sa"
    I currently have 6gb RAM and Windows 7 OS
    Thanks, all help appreciated.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    8GB is the max as mentioned in the following link:
       http://www.crucial.com/uk/upgrade/HP+-+Compaq-memory/Pavilion+DV6+Series/Pavilion+dv6-6b26sa-upgrade...
    You can swap 2GB for 4GB to make 8GB or swap both or just stick with 6GB unless you want to run virtual machine(s).

  • How to know the amount of RAM Oracle is recognizing on the Server...?

    I have 10g Rel 2 running on 4 CPU Win2003 Adv Server, which has 8 GB of RAM, but when I look at the Oracle Ent.Mgr. Host page under 'Configuration' it shows 'Memory Size' as 2048 MB, in fact it shows the correct CPU count and hard disk size. What can be the probable reason?

    Hi Gaurav,
    '...meanwhile I have millions of inserts which happen as part of cursor loops on to my tables...'
    That sets off a massive great alarm bell. This sounds like a very good place to start re-writing SQL. The best way is to do it in one go, instead of looping, do one big
    insert into select ...
    joins and all go here
    If for some reason the logic in the loop is so really complex (and it's got to be very complex to not be able to do this) that it can't be merged, then yes, next best is to do bulk processing.
    The fact that the ETL is doing millions of single inserts, which is a very bad practice and should be avoided if at all possible, makes me think that there is another bad practice and none of those inserts are being bound - lack of bind variables! In which case my Wild Assed Guess might not be that far from the mark.
    This is something I have observed on 10g, if you set the automatic memory tuning by using sga_target and let Oracle size the shared pool, what it tries to do is extend the shared pool to hold all the SQL you throw at it. Since you then proceed to throw millions of unique SQL at it, this of course doesn't work, but doesn't stop Oracle from trying, ending up with all your memory used for pointless SQL and none for PGA/buffer cache etc.
    The implicit assumption with automatic memory tuning is of course that the process has been written correctly!
