Memory usage exceed -Xmx option in Windows 2000.

Hi ,
I run the java application with -Xms300M -Xmx600M option in Windows 2000.
When I start the application, it's virtual memory size is 300M.
(In Windows TaskManager choose the Processes Tab and select "Select Columns..." option in View menu. And check the "Virtual Memory Size".)
After several test I found that it's virtual memory size is bigger than 600M in Windows TaskManager.
It's virtual memory size is about 650M.
Why the application's memory usage is bigger than 600M despite of -Xmx600M?

The -Xms and -Xmx control the Java heap size only.
The stack does not go on the heap, and the VM will need some memory of its own as well.

UCCX 7 Heap Memory Usage Exceeded Error

UCCX 7.0.(1) SR5
Getting the following error when updating or adding new script applications:
"It is not recommended to update the application as Engine heap memory usage exceeded configured threshold. Click OK to continue and Cancel to exit."
Apparently this is an alert that was built into SR4 and is configurable under the System Parameters.
Does anyone have information on what processes use the heap memory in UCCX or how to monitor the usage?

As Tom can attest to by now, this is something of an iceberg with big sharp edges below the surface.
The Java heap is fixed at 256MB on CCX. The Java heap is used by Tomcat as execution memory. In addition to this, applications, scripts, and other repository data is loaded into the heap at runtime. Depending on your environment, you may be approaching the limits of the heap, which cannot be changed. If the heap size is reached, it will be dumped and impact calls.
What have you been doing as of late on your CCX server? How many applications and scripts do you have? Are any of these using XML files extensively?
Note there is also a possible bug where the MIVR engine does not properly release all objects loaded into the heap at the end of a script execution leading to a memory leak of sorts. The discussion [debate] over this behavior is continuing. As of this week, it may be represented under

LabVIEW 2009 build memory usage exceeds Windows limit

We have a large application that builds without problems using 8.6.1, but failed to build using LabVIEW 2009 with the error "Not enough memory to build this application".
We solved the problem by adding the parameter /3GB to the Windows XP boot.ini file. This increases the available memory for a Windows XP application from 2Gb to 3Gb.
It appears that LabVIEW 2009 uses more memory during the build process and, in our case, this took it over the 2Gb limit.

We are also facing the same problem...
can National Instruments help us ??????

Memory usage of excel stays high after Macro is executed and excel crashes after trying to close it

Hi,
I'm trying to resolve an issue with an excel based tool. The macros retrieve data from an Oracle database and do calculations with the data. They also open and write into files in the same directory. The macros all run and finish the calculations. I can
continue to use and modify the sheet. I can also close the workbook, however excel memory usage I see in the windows Task manager stays elevated.If I close Excel it says: Excel stopped working and then it tries to recover information...
I assume something in the macro did not finish properly and memory was not released. I would like to check what is still open (connection, stream or any other object) when I close the workbook I would like to have a list of all still used memory. Is there
a possibility to do so.
Here the code I'm using, its reduced to functions which open something. Functions

Windows 2000

I've just switched computers at work. My new computer is several times as fast as the old one, with sixteen times as much memory - but unfortunately it's running Windows 2000 rather than NT. I can only presume that this is the reason why in spite of all the extra power the rather fine programmer-oriented text editor Jext (www.jext.org) now runs way slower than before. Also, the text in the program is now so mangled as to be barely readable - it looks as if it's been anti-aliased and then all the pixels which weren't pure black have been dropped, or something. It's appalling.
Is this all part of Microsoft's ongoing anti-Java campaign, or is there another explanation? Is anyone else having similar problems? Does anyone have any idea how to fix the crazy text thing? Does it occur with other programs or is it jus Jext?

It turns out the screwed up writing was partly a result of my display being in 16-bit colour mode; going up to 32-bit and restarting Jext fixed the problem. It feels like it's going slightly faster as well, for some reason.

MSI G4MX440 VTP & Windows 2000

Oh god someone please help me.....
I am running win2k pro and purchased an MSI G4MX440-VTP yesterday. I have been on the net for hours and have not been able to find a solution to my problem. I have seen mention of a registry hack on other boards but I have not been able to find the actual hack.
My problem is that when I maximize a window it psans accross both monitors, the taskbar also does the same thing. When I was running 2 seperate cards I had no problem confining a maximized window to ONE monitor and the taskbar only showed on one as well.
In addition to that my display properties only show ONE monitor, as does my device manager. I am running Dual 18.1" NEC LCD's on the card and the only way I can use both is to enable nView.
I just want it to work like it used to!
Or at least look like it is!
Please for the love of god help me! ;(

Jeez you would think that someone from MSI, the company who makes and sells the damn cards would have an answer. I guess customer support is not in their business plan. Too bad. Even though I have finally got this card to work properly I won't buy another product from MSI.
Since nobody here was nice enough to offer a solution, one that I am sure someone must have known about I will post what I found to work.
I went straight to nVidia and dowloaded their drivers (ver. 30.82) which you can find here : nVidia Drivers
Followed the instructions and then went into display properties> settings> advanced> GeForce MX 440>
Then click on the additional properties button, go the the desktop utilities tab and at the bottom you will see and option to "treat multiple outputs on an nView-capable board as seperate display devices."
This option allows windows 2000 to see both monitors and work in "native" multimonitor mode.
You then follow the steps as you normally would to set up dual monitors in windows without using nVeiw.
Thanks to nVidia :] , thanks for nothing MSI.

Is there a VI to monitor CPU and memory usage on wINDOWS 2000 system ?

I want to monitor CPU usage and available memory for Windows 2000 computer. Is there a VI that can call the task mngr. via a DLL to provide this information in real time ?

There was a nice example using .NET technology, but it seems the link has changed and I cannot find it anymore. See this older thread for some clues.
Does anyone know what happened to the target of the original link in my old post?

Memory usage in windows nt and windows 2000

My program is polling, visualizing and saving continuously sent data. When I use it under Windows NT(sp6), after some time the computer runs out of virtual memory. In the task manager I can see the memory usage increasing with time. But when I use it under windows 2000(sp3) and look at the task manager nothing important happens, the memory usage is quite constant. Does anyone have any idea about this situation? Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Ogulcan

Assuming that your application isn't continuously reading into memory ever-increasing amounts of data, the thing to look for are references that you aren't closing when you are finished with them.

Window Memory usage even after closing windows

I've included links to a test app that does nothing but
launch a window, play a sound, close window / repeat.
When application launches it uses about 20mb of memory. When
you click on the only button, it will launch a secondary window
that will simply play a wav file. (I set the volume low but you may
want to mute it :D)
After launching and closing the window several times the
memory usage goes up considerably and *never* falls back a
significant %. (I got it to about 100MB before I decided to quit
trying to increase the memory usage. Right now it's been running
w/o any user interaction since opening about 10 windows and it's
fairly stable at around 61MB (although that appears to be
increasing w/o user interaction).
Does anyone know of any methods I can use to ensure that the
memory consumed by secondary windows does not just persist forever
even after closing the window? Is there something I'm doing wrong
here?
Example Code:
http://www.vf-server.com/air/memorytest.air
(AIR)
http://www.vf-server.com/air/memorytest.zip
(source ZIP)
Note: When I *minimize* the window it looks like garbage
collection is forced and app drops back to 11MB (on restore back to
19mb).
Edit: note in your task manager, application appears as
JBTest.exe

You can call System.gc() to force the garbage collector to
run.
Try removing the event listeners when they aren't needed
anymore. I think it is more difficult for the gc to cleanup objects
when there are host objects (like Sound) refering to JavaScript
objects and JavaScript objects refering to host objects, so you
need to be especially careful about those. It SHOULD clean them up
eventually, but it may take longer for it to figure out that those
objects are no longer in use.
You might also clear the secondaryWindow reference in the
parent document when the window closes. That reference might retard
garbage collection, too.

What is the average Windows 8.1 Virtual Machine memory usage at idle on Hyper-V 2012 R2?

Hello, I was just watching a presentation where the spokesperson is stating that Windows VMs (8.1 I assume) on a Hyper-V host with Dynamic Memory enabled can possibly use as little as 300 MB of RAM when idle.
My 8.1 Enterprise VM's with Dynamic Memory enabled still use about 2600 MB of RAM when sitting idle. Is this normal? It would be great to get this usage down. I hear rumors of 'MinWin' but don't think this really relates to a VDI deployment.
Also, I have configured 8 GB for startup RAM if that matters.
Thanks
- Mr. Sid
- Mr. Sid

Amount of memory is very dependent upon workload on the system. If nothing else on the Hyper-V host is asking for memory, the VM will not simply give it up. If you have plenty of RAM on your host, and the total amount of memory needed by all
the VMs and the host is less than the amount of RAM on the host, you will not likely see any decrease in the size of the VMs. With dynamic memory, if there is less physical memory than the sum of all the running VMs, one VM may need memory so it asks
for it. This might cause the memory manager to request to take the memory away from another VM. That VM looks at what it has allocated and determines what it can give up. Without this 'external' pressure, there is no need for the VM to give
up memory. In concept, this is no different than what happens among processes on a stand-alone system, except that when a process exits, it releases its memory. So, if the VM is sitting idle, that means processes are not exiting, so no memory is
being freed. It there were other machines needing the memory, it is possible that the idle VM could give up memory to those VMs needing more memory.
8GB for startup memory seems really excessive for a Window 8.1 installation. I can't think of any sort of typical workstation application that would require that much memory to start up. But, that makes no difference on freeing memory.

Max memory allocation in Windows 2000

Hi,
I want to allocate more than 1.6GB of memory to JVM. So, I use:
"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" -server -ms1024m -mx1680m
I get following error while starting weblogic server: "Error occurred during initialization
of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap"
Spec:
Windows 2000 Server (dual processor + 4GB RAM)
Weblogic 6.1 sp1
JVM: 1.3.1 (bundled with Weblogic)
I am aware that Windows NT 4.0/JVM had limitation that more than 1.6GB cannot
be allocated. But for Windows 2000, microsoft had removed that limitation by redoing
its memory address management whereby for Windows 2000 Server apps can get more
than 1.6GB.
I want to allocate more than 1.6GB (preferably upto 3GB) for my Weblogic process
but I get this exception.
You help/input will be really appreciated.
Thanks.

Please help!! I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
or
B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem

Windows 2000 JVM memory Limit

Hi Support Team,
I need know if exists any jrockit 7.0 memory limitation in windows 2000 advanced server. I'm using 4GT RAM Tuning Feature into a machine with 4 GB in RAM.
Thnks in advance,
Ricardo

Each process on Windows gets ~2GB. In the JRockit process space, this memory
gets divided into one part for the java heap and the rest is used for shared
libraries, internal structures used during code generation, garbage
collecting etc.

-Xmx Option (JDK 5.0 Windows AMD 64Bit)

I wanna try to test JDK 5.0(Release Candidate)
on Windows Server 2003 (CPU=AMD 64Bit)).
Q1.Do I have to use "java -d64" option?
Q2.How big can I set "java -Xmx" option？
Thank you,
kayafeg

Those are installation instructions. That file is a Windows installer. So once you have it in your system, then just like any other Windows application, you double-click it to run it.
It's obviously not referring to an icon on that page because you never double-click on things in web pages.
As for your main question, where do you get that download, I have no idea. Presumably you get it from some page which contains a link to this one, but that doesn't help. Perhaps going back to wherever you got the link to this page from in the first place, and looking around there, might help.

Premiere crashes when exceeding ~1.2GB memory usage

This is extremely annoying. I have found Premiere to crash when it hits around 1.2GB to 1.5GB of memory usage on medialayer.dll or something. I was able to crash Premiere in just a matter of seconds after launching it and opening my project. I work quickly, so this happens frequently.
Q9450 Yorkfield Quadcore (12MB Cache), clocked at 3.2GHz
4GB of 1200 RAM
All my scratch disks are set to my second partition, which has around or at least 200GB of free space. My page file is set to about 4GB. My machine is defragmented daily by Diskeeper Pro 2008.
I am dealing with 26 video files and have frame thumbnails displaying in the timeline thing (it makes everything all the more easier for what I am specifically doing) and adds up to around a total of 9 to 10 hours of video and audio. I'm chopping out the intro, credits, and midtro from each video, which is basically what I am doing.
However, I am currently downloading the latest update (which is like 50.3MB) that might possibly fix this issue. At least I hope it does. :( This crash/memory leak is going to drive me insane if it cannot be fixed.
EDIT :: I have observed that every time I save, the memory usage goes up by 200KB to 500KB. For each frame thumbnail that Premiere loads, the memory usage goes up by a whopping 2MB+. This will and does quickly add up for the work I'm doing. Photoshop never unloads any of this memory!
EDIT2 :: By the way, the frame thumbnails are 88x65 sized thumbnails.
EDIT3 :: Even with the latest version and update, Premiere Pro CS3 still crashes for the same reason. I haven't seen the memory usage at 1GB though.
EDIT4 :: Latest updates help though, but does not fix the problem. When I minimize Premiere, usage is 17 MB. When I bring it back up, usage is 32MB. I can keep resetting the usage to 17/32MB simply by just minimizing Premiere and bringing it back up again (and the memory usage reset is about instant). So far I've reset it numerous times when reaching levels of around 600MB to 800MB of memory usage and haven't crashed in my current session due to the memory leak yet.
This seems to be only a temporary solution.
http://www.hlrse.net/Qwerty/premiere-memoryleak-workspace.gif
That is my current workspace. I literally keep task manager open with Premiere highlighted like that so that I can watch the memory usage levels (to know when to 'reset' the memory usage) as I work. Right now all I'm doing is zooming in and out, and splitting videos in two (or multiple pieces).

D is for everything else, which includes games, utilities/tools, media (images, video, music), developer material, etc.
On D, you would find the following logical layout of folders:
Developer, Games, Media, Network, Utilities, Mozilla Firefox, Temp.
Temp is so that I can (in an organized fashion) set the temporary locations and scratch disks for programs here. All scratch disks are set to D:\Temp\Premiere, and currently reports 121.9GB of free space. I can easily free up 114GB to 240GB of material on D though (which I plan to do sometime anyway).
What information do you want to know? Be specific, I'm not stupid and illiterate like most people.
EDIT :: I didn't mention this in my post, but I did take the precautions to search through the Troubleshooting database for Premiere, and I did read through the optimizations for Windows XP article (which I already had the same suggestions applied to my computer since the dawn of time -- so that wasn't really useful).
EDIT2 :: I checked the troubleshooting link and none of those really apply. (Do you even know what a memory leak is?)
=P

Memory usage exceed -Xmx option in Windows 2000.
