Lots of RAM, how to use it?
Hello everyone
Does anyone have any experience of running two instances from the same SAP system on a single Linux server in order to make use of a lot of available RAM? The situation is as follows:
- SAP R/3 4.6C, Oracle DB on 64-bit proprietary UNIX
- 3 app servers on 32-bit Intel processors running SLES 9, with 12GB of RAM each
- 3 small SAP instances with approximately 20 work processes each
- Each instance uses standard zero administration memory management (EM of 500MB, etc.) in order to make best use of shared memory, given the 32-bit address space limitations.
The SAP app instances don't use a lot of the underlying available memory so we see a free memory value of ~ 6GB on each server. What is the best way to make use of these unused memory resources? This is what I can think of:
1. increase the number of work processes on the already existing instances. Since Linux uses late swap allocation any additional memory load from additional WPs will tend to consume physical memory rather than swap space.
2. install a second SAP instance on each app server to make use of the available memory.
The main issue I can think of with the latter option is that it duplicates buffers, which is a waste but it also lessens the load on the existing buffers which are limited in size due to a 32-bit address space. Does anyone have a different idea to add to the list?
Thanks for your input,
Dáithí
In the case of having extra RAM, to get better performance is suggested to install more Dialog instances, or Apps instances for the production instance or the slowest instance.

Early 2013 13" MacBook Pro runs slow and uses a lot of RAM, why and what can be done?
Problem description:
My computer is using a lot of RAM. Wondering if there’s a hardware issue, or a software issue, or something else. I currently have no programs open in the Doc, besides EntreCheck. and the RAM is showing about 75% used. I’m looking for suggestions on what I can do to speed it up and make it more functional, and efficient for doing design work. I recently upgraded from the original 4GB RAM (2x2GB), and from the original HD to a 512 GB SSD drive, and upgraded to Yosemite. Perhaps that was too much for this machine? Please help with anything that I can do to make it better! Thanks in advance!
I have a recent back-up, I'm open to saving user files and starting from scratch with the current hardware, etc... but would need some direction on how to do this. I did upgrade myself using Apple provided instructions.
Here are the EntreCheck results:

Here's the new EtreCheck that I just ran. At a glance, it seems I may have missed deleting some things or they are stored in an additional location? I haven't jumped into anything yet to really test if there's a difference in performance for me. Once I do I will post that information.

Xorg.bin use a lot of ram Catalyst
Hello! After installing catalyst from Violo's repo i have noticed that Xorg.bin use a lot of ram(when i start the laptop it is 25mb but it keep rising till it get to 1.5gb in about 2h and I restart to free memory) This is on X-server 1.7 and now i downgrade to 1.16.4 but no effect. Can someone help me please. Thank you!
elll wrote:Do you know how to downgrade catalyst? Should i use pacman -U catalyst? [link]https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … s#Warnings[/link] And if yes do i have to downgrade Xorg too because i allready do that?
The nicer way to do this is to use the [catalyst-stable-14.X] repository databases in this manner (where you replace X with the corresponding number):
[catalyst-stable-14.X]

No idea. Ask the AMD Developers upstream.

I have tried safe mode boot, NVRAM and PRAM reset but no luck...First, try a Safe Mode boot.
Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
A Safe Mode boot takes a longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from your Apple () menu.
If that didn't help, reintall OS X..
Restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access the built-in utilities in OS X Recovery

How much ram are You using ?
Dear Logic Users, simply question :
How much ram are You using on your logic-mac system ?
Thank youDoes anyone know how much RAM you can whack in one of these new quad machines? And if and when Logic goes 64-bit to catch up with it all, will it be able to use 8GB of RAM? Just wondering, cos as mthinking of getting one of these critters fairly soon.. Best, Fred

How to use 4GB RAM on Windows 2000
Hi,
We use a third party application that parses weblogs and generates statistics.
The application gives OutOfMemory exception when the weblogs are hugs.
I am wondering if doing "editbin.exe /LARGEADDRESSAWARE java.exe" is going to help.
I have 4GB of physical RAM and I have /3GB in boot.ini in Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
Thanks,
Anurag.How to use 4GB RAM on Windows 2000You are never going to use 4g on a windows box. The maximum addressable space is 4g. Normally the OS reserves 2g. Which means the maximum addressable space for an application is 2g.
It is supposed to be possible to increase the addressable space to 3 gig. And also increase the JVM space. However, there are risks. The following thread suggests a way to do this

MSI ge70 2OE, bad performance, a lot of RAM used
Hello ! I have a problem with my computer. It's slow, even if I'm only on Firefox for instance. Even with no software opened, used RAM can be 30-40% in the task manager. I noticed that I have important Nonpaged pool and cache memory. Here are some pictures :

Is this a memory leak ? And what are these service host ?
In Starcraft 2, when I got the PC I could play with max settings and now I must play in low with 50-100 fps... Something is definitely wrong.
It would be really nice if some of you could help me. Thank youQuote from: Kokoz on 23-November-13, 03:20:20
Well I seriously doubt it. A 1200€ computer shouldn't be lagging on Firefox, or it's the biggest scam of the century. 40% RAM used when nothing is open is normal ? Moreover, the nonpagined pool is increasing with the time. I think it's a memory leak...
And how do I check if the game is using the nvidia card ?
My GT70 with 16 gigs of ram consistently is using 14.9 GB when I have Steam open with about 40 firefox tabs (most of them this forum actually). That is rather normal. Unused RAM is sort of a waste.
If the laptop is feeling slow, the first thing I would do is get CPU-Z, CoreTemp, and MSI Afterburner. Make sure that all your temperatures are correct, and that the CPU is running at the proper frequency. It sounds like the system is being throttled because it's too hot to be perfectly honest. -
Wow. Opera is using a LOT of RAM.
My conky tells me that Opera is using 32% of my 747MiB of RAM! I always use Opera because it used to use LESS than Firefox. What is going on? Is it the pluginwrapper?
EDIT: Well, I restarted it and it is using about 5% and growing a little bit at a time. I previously had it open for a few hours. My new question is: Is that used RAM actually being used properly or is it memory-leaking?
Last edited by pogeymanz (2008-03-15 15:22:51)I presume the graph (showing FF2 performing on par with Opera and FF3b4 performing better than Opera) was posted because you said "I always use Opera because it used to use LESS than Firefox."
I doubt the nspluginwrapper would have much of an effect unless you're viewing flash content.
Do you have a swap partition? I don't and everything gets cached instead of swapped out so RAM usage stays very high (I'm pretty sure this is swap related anyway). I'm using FF3b4 and it uses 160MB RAM, which on my system is normal. -
How I use 2 AI with 1 AO in the same program without hardware errors?
I have a machine with a Motor (velocity controled with PWM), a Strain Gauge, and a Encoder (inner the motor). This machine is controled with a LabVIEW 6.1 program in a computer with Intel Celeron 1.5Gb 360 Mb RAM and DAQ 6024E.
In my program I have two AI Adquisition Waveform blocks with AI different ranged Channel (the firts in my Strain Gauge ranged -9 to +9 V) and the second in my encoder ranged 0 to +5 V), and one AO Generate Waveform (the PWM signal ranged 0 to +5 V). When I put on the program, the motor Glitches an my computer turns slow. It´s cause me problems!
Whats the problem?You would probably get more info on this in the DAQ Discussion Forums, but I can help you out a bit here. The VIs that you are using are very high level VIs so there is a lot going on behind the scenes that you do not see. More importantly, they are synchronous, meaning that you have to wait until they're finished to do anything else. This is probably why your computer is slowing down. The UI may even freeze until you have acquired all the points you requested. I would suggest using the more advanced DAQ VIs to control your system. There are many examples that ship with LabVIEW which demonstrate how to use these. They allow you to build an asynchronous acquisition system so that other tasks may operate while the DAQ board is acquiring data.

Probably other people have a same problem since the new version updated. So much times in a day just freezout Firefox and than I have to restart. Even doesn't matter how much page I have opened. Sometimes 4-6 somtimes 10-12, but come on this is the NEW FAST AND GREAT version that's shouldn't be a problem for this! Than if I stop to send this firefox and restart again, I everytime waiting so long 2-4 minute 'cause allways re open this new tab with How to use new firefox... or something else! I don't want to learn anymore! I just want to have one firefox wich can be working day by day without problems and I can use my favorit plug ins and I don't mind anymore how I can use this newest version! Please don't change every month than we have a lot of problems! First waiting for the REALLY GOOD VERSION WICH DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM AND JUST THAN UP DATE FOR US!!!
A warm welcome to Apple discussions!
A 2003 iMac cannot support Snow Leopard 10.6; you'd need an Intel processor and that cannot be retrofitted to your Mac. What does "About this Mac" in your Apple menu say for your processor speed? What does it say about how much RAM you have?
If the processor is 1ghz or faster, you can run OS 10.5; otherwise, you are maxed out at 10.4.11.
Also, are you running any commercial ("pay for") anti-virus or security software? They are notorious for slowing most Macs to a fraction of their speed potential.
A too-full hard drive can drag down performance, especially if you don't have a lot of physical RAM installed. If you single-click your hard drive icon and then do command i, you'll see the disk usage. Looks like this:
The value for "Used" should be no more than about 90 percent of "Capacity." In the example image, that drive has about 34 percent of its space used and 66 percent free--more than enough. Please post what you see for your Capacity and Used numbers
There are a few more things we might check but this is a good start.
Awaiting your information,

Can't figure out how to use home sharing
Since the latest couple iTunes updates, my family and I can not figure out how to use home sharing. Everyone in our household has their own iTunes, and for a long time we would just share our music through home sharing. But with the updates, so much has changed that we can no longer figure out how to use it.
I have a lot of purchased albums on another laptop in the house, that im trying to move it all over to my own iTunes, and I have spent a long time searching the internet, and everything. And I just can't figure out how to do it. So.... how does it work now? I would really like to get these albums from my moms iTunes, onto mine. I would hate to have to buy them all over again.
If anyone is able to help me out here, that would be great! Thanks!The problem im having is that after I am in another library through home sharing, I can't figure out how to select an album and import it to my library. They used to have it set up so that you just highlight all of the songs you want, and then all you had to do was click import. Now I don't even see an import button, or anything else like it. So im lost... I don't know if it's something im doing wrong, or if our home sharing system just isn't working properly.
Thanks for the help.
