Out of memory with 16gb ram?

I am running CS4 on an 3.0 8 Core Mac Pro with 16gb of ram and a raid 0 scratch drive made from 6x15k drives. I had my memory usage set to 92% with 10.5.6. I recenetly upgraded to Snow Leoaprd and was working on a 3mb file, with no other applications runining, besides firefox. I was trying to use the quick selection tool and when I tried taking away from the selection I got the "out of memory (ram)" error. So I dropped the ram usage for ps it down to 85% and that seemed to work. Is this normal for Snow Leoaprd? In the past, people had recommended that if you had over 10gb of ram to set your ram usage to 100%, but I see that must no longer be the case?
Thanks,
Steve

Now I just tried opening up one page of a 9pg pdf file in CS4, and I got the "not enough memory" error again? I have 10.5.6 on another drive, so I went back to that operatinig system and tried opeing the same file in CS4 with the memory usage set at 92% and it opened up fine.

I thought I had a defected newly purchased keyboard. I pulled out my older wireless keyboard, and the same thing happened. It must not be the keyboard if it happened to two different keyboards. I have a habit of restarting my computer, when things don't work, I find it helps, and sure enough, everything works. Today, it happened again. Does anyone know what is causing this to happen?

Out of Memory with 64MB?

I've made a decent sized application (771k jar) and run it just
fine using the jre 1.1.6 on my machine with 128MB of memory.
When I run it on any 64MB machine (everything else is the same),
it gets realllllly slow and has trouble loading the last 1/3 of
classes and then the database connection times out. It looks
like it's running out of memory, but what can I do to fix this?
Surely it shouldn't be running out with 64MB (it's not that big
an application and I don't have a ton of data in memory or
anything).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin Williams

I have the same problem with this version on Mac OS 10.9.1 with 16GB RAM, 2TB hard drive, 1,7TB available. I have to restart InDesign after a while, it happens even with single page INDD files without any image. I have informed some form the InDesign team but I have not enough hard facts to submit a bug report, it is not happening all the time but when it starts it is anoying.
Which other programs are running at the very same time? Backgound? I want to know it to find why it is happening here and why it is happening with you so that I can gather some hard facts to submit a bug report.

Thumbnails are not displaying in LR4.4 64bit on I7 laptop with 16gb ram

I cannot get thumbnails to display the image in library mode. I can click on develop on a particular blank thumbnail (blank thumbnails are dislayed and they are numbered).
What settings do I change? I am using an i7 laptop with 16gb ram. Wins 7.

13'' dual-core with 16gb ram vs 15'' quad-core 8gb ram -- ram vs cores?

Hello. I am at a point between choosing a 13'' dual-core i5 with 16gb ram vs the 15'' quad-core with 8gb ram - both retinas.
I will be using photoshop and illustrator while uploading/downloading large files constantly. After much headscratching I almost decided on the 13'' i5 because from my experience, RAM limitations is where I usually run into problems, and don't see the extra price of i7 worth it when it is still a dual-core. For the same price I can get a 15'' quad, but will be stuck with 8gb ram.
I don't care about the screen size, I have good eyes and the weigth trade-off makes this a non-issue.
I'm thinking about down the road, as either of these I'm sure will be fine solutions. I'm just wondering where does the edge really come in this case? Ram or processor / cores?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply tjk, of course with 16gb on the 15'' for $200 more I'd have easier time, but in this case I am comparing a refurbished - the lowest 15'' 16gb I could find would cost $500 more, I just can't do it.
I should make clear that this particular comparison between 13''w/16 and 15''w/8, they are the same price (the 13 being new) - which is why I'm stuck.
To rephrase - for the same price - which will I regret less in 4 years?
As a side note, I can't believe I'm even thinking about paying this much money for something that is not upgradeable, but that's another discussion entirely.

Would VMWare ESX(i) run on on a W510 (i7 920 with 16gb ram)?

Hi all,
A tough question perhaps though perhaps something useful to know for quite some users:
Would VMWare ESX(i) run on on a W510 (i7 920 with 16gb ram)?
All thoughts and comments more than welcome!
Jochen

I see no clue why it wouldn't. I used to have ESXi installed on VMware Workstation on my W510 i7-920 with 16GB RAM. I have yet to find a spare hard drive to install ESXi on bare metal.

790FX-GD70 with 16GB RAM, possible?

Hi guys,
Currently, my PC using 790FX-GD70 with 8GB RAM, and now I want to upgrade it to 16GB. I need your advice which memory are compatible and stable for my system.
I've checked on MSI Memory Test Report here:
http://www.msi.com/file/test_report/TR10_1740.pdf
However there's no test report for 16GB, max memory used there is for Kingston KHX1600C9D3K3/12GX (12GB) running at 1600 (OC).
Following is my spec (NO overclock):
+ Processor AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
+ Motherboard MSI 790FX-GD70, Bios A7577AMS v1.H
+ RAM (8GB):
- Team-Elite 1333 PC3-10700H 2GB x2
- Team-Elite 1333 PC3-10700 2GB x2
+ Video Card ATI Radeon HD5700 GDDR5 1024MB
+ Hard Drives (10TB)
- 1 x WDC SATA II Caviar Black 2 TB 64Mb,
- 4 x WDC SATA II Green 2 TB 64Mb
+ PSU Seasonic M12II-520 520W Modular - 80 Plus Bronze, 520Watt, +12V1 = 20A & +12V2 = 20A
+ OS Windows 7 x64
I really need your advice.
Many thanks!

Hi Bas,
Many thanks for the reply.

Out of memory with no swap causes disk activity

Can someone explain what exactly is being read/written from/to disk in this situation?
I have 2 GB of RAM and no swap partitions. Occasionally I'll forget how inefficient gwenview is at displaying very large images and accidentally double-click one. The entire system freezes; even alt+sysrq keystrokes are ineffective (and yes I do have them enabled).
For about 5 minutes, the system is locked up and the hard drive light is flickering. That scares me a bit, because with no swap, what could it possibly be doing for 5 straight minutes? I used to think it was synching before doing the OOM-killing, but there's no way a sync could take that long. Judging from the sound of the hard drive, it's hda (the drive / and all the other system partitions are on).
A few times after recovering from this I've run extensive data verification and never found any evidence of corruption, but I'd like to know for sure that the kernel isn't randomly deciding to use some filesystem as swap space.
In the mean time, I'm playing with disabling overcommit -- setting vm.overcommit_memory = 2 in /etc/sysctl.conf. That enforces a hard memory commit limit of swap size + overcommit_ratio * ram size (so I've read) -- and I've also read that the default overcommit_ratio is only 50%. What the bloody hell? It's almost like someone thinks swap is more important than RAM -- hell-llo, I have 2 GB of RAM so that I can get *away* from swap!
Anyway, I've set the ratio to 97% and so far things seem happy -- if I deliberately run out of memory, the process that did it always gets killed instantly and the system doesn't freeze up on OOM anymore."
Another thing -- in all my out of memory situations so far, VMWare has been running. I suppose it's possible that VMWare is the one doing the swappage; I'll have to investigate that further.
~Felix.

I think I've finally figured this out. It's a kernel bug -- I'm guessing that under normal circumstances, the "cached" column in the free command "doesn't count" towards how much memory the system thinks it's using. After all, it's just cached copies of stuff that should be elsewhere, and if you run out of memory, you can safely dump that, right? Unfortunately, /dev/shm is counted under cached rather than used memory (as I discovered in an earlier post).
So if I've got 500 MB of stuff in /dev/shm * (which is where I mount my /tmp), there's now 500MB of stuff in the "cached" column that really does count -- system reaches all RAM full, decides it needs to dump cache, and suddenly finds that the 500MB it thought it could use isn't usable. For some reason it takes about 5 minutes of hard drive thrashing (probably because it's already chucked all of the system libraries, etc. out of cached and needs to re-read them from disk every time) before something finally figures out that it really is out of memory and that that 500MB isn't letting go and invokes OOM-killer.
*: VMWare does this; it creates a 512MB file (the amount of RAM in my virtual machine) then hides it by keeping the file open and deleting it, so the inode's still there, but you can't see it and it makes the df command really perplexing... but that's another story.
I haven't had a chance to try this with a newer kernel (maybe they've fixed it now?); I'm still running 2.6.23-ARCH here. (pacman -Syu upgrades are a major production for me because I have lots of RAID arrays and things, and an nvidia graphics card, and I use gnucash which sometimes needs manual recompiling, and so on...)

Out of memory with lots of memory

this is the log output:

05/08/27 19:18:05 Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()=1012 M

05/08/27 19:18:05 Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory()=1012 M
05/08/27 19:18:09 java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
as u see there are enough memory and still out of memory error comes.
I run standalone server with 1.5GB ram. heap size is set to 1024 and also Xss and MaxPermSize are set to appropriate sizes.
what could be the error source ?

That must be puzzling. I do not have the answer, but a little more data from you would be helpful.
If you are using Windows, can you go to task manager to verify how much memory your java process is using? On unix, the command "top". Set your MaxPerSize to 256M just for sure. If the process hangs when the OutOfMemoryError happens, do a full stack dump by "ctrl+break" on Windows or "ctrl+^" on unix/linux to see what is happening. If a stackTrace of the thread that causes the OutOfMemoryError can be obtained, that will be the most helpful.

Out of Memory with LR 1.1 - yes, just point me to the FAQ or something

Yes, I know this topic has been discussed ad nauseum, but I've yet to see an actual description of the problem and possible solutions that actually work.
I run LR1.1 on Windows XP with 2gb ram.
1.1 is still slow, it's a super pig when you have >10k images. I just can't take the out of memory issues any longer. Starting and restarting LR every 10 minutes is really boring.
anyone, anyone....? Come on, blaming it on XP is lame, UNLESS you can describe to me exactly why this is happening.
Or, is this one of those bugs that the LR team punted b/c it really is an OS issue, yet they could do a fix, but fixing it would be too expensive?

Hooray!
After struggling with issues similar to yours on a fast computer running Windows XP Professional, I found the solution!!
According to someone's post, Lightroom 1.1 has virtual memory problems. This is solved very simply by turning off (deselecting the checkbox) to automatically write changes to XMP in the catalog settings. Then after you have developed or made changes to an image, simply select the image and under photo menu, press "save metadata to file" (Control/Command S). Apparently Lightroom is trying to read/write the metadata on every image when this "automatically write changes to XMP" is selected. This is why CPU resources are going up so high and why your images will not load quickly in the develop module.
Try this, I think this is the answer to many problems not associated with faulty database conversions.
Good Luck with this tip.

Will there be a bottleneck with 16GB RAM and 32 threads CPU?

And if so how much of a bottleneck? Is it worth the money to upgrade to 48GB? I have 8x2GB in the HP Z820, but was thinking of getting more RAM from Mr Memory that is compatible with the Z820 for much cheaper than what HP are selling HP branded ram for. I was looking at 8x4GB for around £344 to make 48GB. Is it risky going unbranded or do people do this a lot?
Thanks
Costa

HP can list that it's an option that doesn't mean it's recommended or the best way to do it without having issues. Since the ram controller was moved to the CPU, trying to run asynchronous timings on system boards with Quad channel is asking for problems. If you call the ram manufacturers they wont recommend it with their ram and likely wont support it if they have any clue. Due to how the ram market is so volatile and dimm modules change ram chips from 1 production run to the next , you cant even run 2 different sets of the same model of ram with different manufacturer chips on the dimms. The ram companies will tell you that you need to change them out. I have been dealing with all of the ram variables since tri-channel started on the I7 Gen 1 platform and it only gets more complex with Quad channel. We have our ram custom made just to ensure we have the same manufacturer chips on our dimms regardless of the production along with the same stepping of construction until the wafer has to change. There are far more timings than CAS rating and the most important to compatibility are the sub timings which the manufacturer does not list. HP also can say they only want Grade 1A ram modules for their dimms which is why they are more expensive while that ram manufacturer will use other grades for their own branded ram. Those modules will not work together most of the time if at all. Do what you will but dont say you were not warned. Much of this information is not available to anyone unless they talk to the Engineers over in TW that deal with the dram chip fabs.

"Out of memory" - with silly proportions

Hello everyone,
Even though I´m not the most frequent user of Encore, I do DVD-productions in my studies from time to time. So I was surprised to get an error on my new computer configuration, and cannot help to think that it might be something wrong that I do not know of.
I run a Wintel with;
* Windows 7, 64-bit Ultimate (updated, genuine build - as in no beta/RC)
* 8Gb RAM
* HDD´s with at least 20Gb left on system drive and 60Gb left on drive with projects
* CS4, Master edition (updated, student licence)
trying to render a project with;
* ONE menu, 6 chapters
* A 3second transition-effect
* A pre-rendered (Premiere) "DVD-MPEG2" file that is a total of 1,1Gb in size
and no matter how I do it (making new timelines, re-render the main file, burn directly vs ISO-file vs folder) - I get a "Out of memory"-fail at the end of the creation.
So how can it go wrong? Is it that Encore CS4 is not "compatible" with Win7 64-bit or what? Since Win7 and getting 8Gb of RAM is the only thing that is "new" since I last rendered a DVD.
Thank you for your quick replies, I need to get this sorted for a presentation today... preferably.
Best regards
