Kernel Memory limits. How much can it usefully use?

I just wanted to check something.
Obviously the Linux kernel can handle a lot of memory, but the question is how much can it usefully use before it needs to be specially compiled?
I need to build a server to clean email, and because it is very very busy, (well the last one was and so is its stand in) it will need 4GB of RAM as an absolute minimum but I would like to put in 8. If I go for 8, do I need to rebuild the kernel?
Kind regards
Benedict White

If you install Arch64 and use the normal kernel package -- no. You won't touch the RAM limit for some decades to come.

  • How much can you fit using iDVD

    How mcuh can you fit on a dvd using iDVD? Can you fit 2 hours, maybe more.

    No, 2 hours, maybe less!
    The maximum capacity of a DVD is 120 minutes, but that includes titles, transitions etc.
    If you work on 1 hr 45 minutes you should be OK.
    The only exception is if you burn the DVD using Roxio Toast, which has the ability to 'compress to fit', but there is a quality penalty.
    The attention span of the audience is also a factor....

  • I haven't done an update since 24.0 because my computer is running out of memory. How much MORE memory will I need to get up to version 28.0?

    I haven't done an update since 24.0 because my computer is running out of memory. How much MORE memory will I need to get up to version 28.0?
    My computer is really old.
    It is running out of memory.
    I haven't done a firefox update since 24.0 because I think it will explode my computer.
    I see that v28.0 takes 200MB.
    How much more is this than what is already loaded for my v24.0?
    Will it just add the extra pieces, or will it require a free block of 200MB (which my computer does not have)?
    I don't want to crash and lockup my computer because I try to install something that is too big for the remaining memory.
    Thanks.

    You should updated to Firefox 28, Firefox updates don't take any new space they just replace the existing files.
    There are some things you can do to clean up your hard drive to free up space however, http://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?p=21178060 and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/956324, also uninstall programs you don't use anymore and delete files you don't need anymore.
    You should also start saving up for a new machine, Windows XP is being dropped from support by Microsoft in a few days, which means it will no longer be safe to use on the internet.

  • Is there a way to find out how much storage I have used on my iphone4s?

    I am new to icloud and want to back up my phone but it is saying I have too much data to back up to the free 5.0GB.  I can purchase more but note sure how much I will need.  Is there a way to find out how much storage my phone is currently using?

    Go to Settings - General - Usage, and you will see a breakdown of all your apps along with how much space they are using.
    My guess is that you have a lot of pictures that should probably be exported to your PC/Mac to free up your space.   5GB is a lot for one phone, you should be able to get by without buying more storage if you do a little housecleaning first.

  • Is there any command/query/etc, which would allow to understand what database objects (for example tables) are consuming memory and how much of it?

    TimesTen Release 11.2.1.9.6 (64 bit Linux/x86_64)
    Command> dssize;
    PERM_ALLOCATED_SIZE:      51200000

    TEMP_IN_USE_HIGH_WATER:   26760
    Is there any command/query/etc, which would allow to understand what database objects (for example tables) are consuming memory and how much of it?
    tried to use ttsize function, but it gives some senseless results – for example, for the biggest table, tokens, it produces following output (that this table is 90GB in size – what physically cannot be true):
    Command> call ttsize('tokens',null,null);
    < 90885669274.0000 >
    1 row found.

    Are you able to use the command line version of ttSize instead? This splits out how much space is being used by indexes (in the Temp section of the TT memory segment), which I think is being combined into one, whole figure in the procedure version of ttSize you're using. For example:
    ttSize -tbl ia my_ttdb
    Rows = 4
    Total in-line row bytes = 17524
    Total = 17524
    Command> create index i1 on ia(a);
    ttSize -tbl ia my_ttdb;
    Rows = 4
    Total in-line row bytes = 17524
    Indexes:
    Range index JSPALMER.I1 adds 5618 bytes
      Total index bytes = 5618
    Total = 23142
    Command> call ttsize ('ia',,);
    < 23142.0000000000 >
    1 row found.
    In 11.2.2 we added the procedure ttComputeTabSizes which populates system tables with detailed table size data, and was designed to be an alternative to ttSize. Unfortunately it still doesn't calculate index usage though, and it isn't in 11.2.1.

    Hi,
    Are we sure that a voice memo can only be 35 minutes long? I only ask as I'm about to start Uni and was quite keen to use the voice memo feature to record lectures (which are definitely longer than 35mins).
    Just to test (as I've never really used mine before) I might leave mine running tonight and see when it cuts out/stops.
    BTW, what's iTalk....and how do I get it???
    Thanks :o)

  • How much can too many imports slow inititialization down?

    How much can too many imports slow applet inititialization down?
    I have seen our company's sorce code for some huge applets they have written. In many, many cases, the imports at the beginning of each file are written something like this...
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import javax.swing.border.*; 
    import javax.swing.event.*;Only certain portion of these imports are actually used. Does this sort of thing really impact the applets loading speed? I know it will obviously take at least a little longer but will the user even notice?

    You are not actually importing the classes, but rather making the names of the classes available.

  • There is a screen that shows how much energy is being used by an application..where do I find that screen

    There is a screen that opens on a monitor that shows how much energy is being used by an application.   Any body can tell me how do I find it.. ?
    My lap is blowing the fan continuously and I know its because a lot of energy is used by any of the applications.. I would like to be able to monitor that.

    Well, this isn't notebook community for one. For another Top is quite good and can show you a lot or stick with Activity Monitor with its GUI.
    You definitely want to install a utility to monitor temps, whether iStatPro or Temperature Monitor
    www.macupdate.com
    Energy = watts but you don't mean measuring what you are using off the wall outlet, rather the fan speed and temperature sensors.
    If you know you will be doing something to stress the system, FanControl can set profiles and instead of waiting to get hot, kick up the fan rpm to something more useful first. Works well.
    You could have software that is not well behaved. Or that you installed years ago that is not compatible with what you have now. When last you installed the OS whether it was an upgrade in place or clean install (and used Setup Assistant to import apps).

  • How much bandwidth netflow export uses

    Experts,
    I tried searching doc on cisco and even googled for information on how much bandwidth netflow export uses; however I didn't find any convincing article. I also found lancope.com where they estimate the BW required, but still I was not satisfied.
    I would really appreciate if someone can guide me with simple yet affective explanation or say rough guide lines to estimate the bandwidth used by netflow exports...
    Regards,
    Smitesh

    yeah this number is so hard to define, because it really is dependent on the flow export timers, active/inactive, how long flows are active or inactive and also very importantly the cache size.
    generally netflow aggregators (aka routers) use a cache and start to aggressively age out flows when the cache utilization reaches a certain level.
    Also if you have long lived flows and a few of them and a cache size that accomodates it, the export rate is merely defined by the active timer.
    If you have a lot of flows, relative smaller cache, you will automatically see more BW util.
    If you have a lot of short lived flows, then the inactive timer will come into play here.
    to sum it up, a record generally takes 300 bytes (somewhat), if you use v9, then you'll also see template exports.
    all in all, netflow export is generally bursty, but very much related to the traffic patterns also.
    Since this number is so specific to your scenario, best to do is to set up a qos pmap that matches on your netflow export, and use the qos mib to average the rate on that class to see how it looks like for you.
    To pre-estimate something, you'll need at minimum: cache size, number of flows, flow duration (so you can correlate that towards the active vs inactive timers) and the timers itself. That all multiplied against the record size, this just to get a ballpark number.

  • How do I know how much storage I'm using?

    How do I know how much storage I'm using?

    Ah, we don't track the size of all the originals files since most often users will only view the files rather than actually download them.  This doesn't require the entire file to be downloaded, just a smaller version of it.  Do you actually download the files, or view them? 
    For a different way to clean up space, try the following:
    On your iphone or ipad, go to the library view for each library and look at the bottom left cloud icon above the libary icon. Next to that you will see "up to date" if it has completed the sync.  You can click on the cloud icon for more information. Anytime your library is up to date, you can clear the cache if you wish to regain some space. This is done in your Library settings in Revel. Tap the 3 parallel lines (version 2.1) in the top left corner. Then, tap the i in the circle to the right of the library you want to clean up. Next, tap the 'Clear Cache' button and give Revel a few minutes to process files.
