Problems of memory consistency

Hello,
While developping cmmunications via a PCI bridge, I'm having problems because of memory consistency. One solution to it may seem to be the use of sparc assembly language instructions 'flush' or 'membar', but they do not seem to have any effects.
Now, the only thing I can do is write twice, so that the memopry zone I'm using will be correctly flushed, as the PCI bridge appears as a 'FIFO' stack...
Has anybody got more information on this topics?
Thanks
Geraud

You can as well read anything in the adapter's DRAM to synchronize written data with DRAM content.
That is what I'm doing in my device driver for a PCI adapter.

Problems with Memory on upgrading

Problems with Memory. I Dide not hace space to upgrade. Now i do, but It still cancels for lack of space

Actually, your problem does not sound like memory, but hard drive space. By default, you lose 10% of your drive to the OS and formatting. To tell how much hard drive space you have go to:
>Finder
>At the bottom of finder in the gray bar it will tell you how much space you have available on your hard drive.
Your hard drive should be no more than 85% full! If it is, delete, get a larger hard drive, remove items to an external drive.
GarageBand only needs 1.2 MB of space.
In order to use GarageBand, some additional content is required. If you do not already have the content installed, it must be downloaded.
Make more disk space available by moving some of your files to a different disk (such as an external hard disk or a USB flash drive), or by deleting files you don't need and then emptying the Trash

Strange problems with memory dimms(Banks) in imac 27in mid2010

Hello dear Apple community. I had a really strange problem with memory dimms(modules anyway)
I have one really good imac 27in with i7 but as you know after some years the lcd screen became yellowish and cloudy
So i decided to clean it as i have some knowledge and i did that to others lcd screens with success.
OK so after successfully cleaning and working like new ( i mean not the external screen with magnets but the lcd internally)i started it.
Before dismantling my memory was 16gb ( 4x4 dimms)
After starting it a strange problem arise without any reason! Memory reduced TO 8 GB!!!! memory banks on the right as we seeing it didnt worked at all
and it was not from dimms because i swapped them..!!!
So after a lot of thinking and asking tech guys to take a second opinion all the saying (including me that logic board failed for some strange reason.
Some days before i installed CCleaner and also Onyx because after a lot of installations and uninstallations my mac became a little sluggish..
I thought that some serious preferences files removed or some hardware settings deleted with Onyx ( is very good and powerful program that can fix the pc and also destroy it in a second) so i removed and reset all preferences. But nothing changed.. So i put a new hard drive and reinstall OXS to see if something can change.
After formating HD to appleHFS+ saw system profiler that still couldn't see all banks(16gb). I remove logic board and i put another processor i7 that i have as a back up and still nothing( some saying that only these 2 things must be faulty if memory banks not working , processor an logic board and sometimes reinsatlling OS can fix it as i mentioned before. But still nothing...
So from my nerves and after so much testings and no sleeping for 2 days as it was working i pulled off the memory modules from the right bank i put them again ( off course nothing changed) and i close it. After i restarted it like a miracle finally i saw that i have again 16gb in system profiler!!
Tech guys here please give me an explanation to this because i gooing crazy! What happened and after i pulled off the dimms while it was working the problem fixed?? It is not recomended at all this action. I forgot to mention that i did Apple hardware test and nothing found..
Sorry for long post.

Okay great news... My memory problems are solved and my Mac Mini is now running at 8 gigs of Ram. I tried the suggested DD3 1333 which the computer wouldn't even recognize.
So after visiting the Apple Store in the Fair Oaks VA shopping mall; they suggested that I try DDR3 8500 ram. I visited Micro Center in Vienna VA, and I purchased BGreg's Suggested Crucial Brand Ram. 10 minutes after I got home the Mac Mini booted on the 1st try with 8 gigs of Ram.
Some venting that Apple hopefully will read and mention to their resellers....
The people in the Apple section of MicroCenter in Vienna at first argued that the Mac Mini only supports 4 gigs. EVEN AFTER I SHOWED THEM THE SPECS on the Apple website. The clerk (who I am calling a clerk because by no means was he a "specialist") even suggested that the Apple site was wrong. On a later visit to MicroCenter to purchase the DDR3 8500, that the people at Apple recomended; Microcenter even suggested and argued that I needed DDR3 1333 and NOT DD3 8500. THIS WAS AFTER I TOLD THEM THAT Mac Mini WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE the DD3 1333 Dimms. Working in retail myself I don't go along with the concept that the customer is always right, however in this instance clearly I was.
I should point out that some of the staff in Microcenter really do try hard, however like with any business it only takes a few "know it all" bad examples to turn customers off.
Curious post thought; I wasted about $75 in gas driving to and from Microcenter because of their bad advice.

Problem with memory in k7t turbo limited ed.

serious problem!! i've got mainbord k7t turbo limited edition with vhipset via vt82c686b. untill now i had one 128 MB memory installed. I want to extend my memory but when i insert another memory to another slot computer does not start... (led status i all red!) no metter to with slot i insert new memory (its the right pc133 memory type) and no matter if it's 128 or 256 MB. Witho only one slot used it work properly even with 256 MB. Problem occurs only with 2 or more slots sed... this memory works with no problems in other computer (different mainboard)
PLEASE HELP!!!!
thanks in advance

Most times is due to incompatibility between memory modules. Best way to avoid it is to buy 2 modules same brand, or one bigger module.

URGENT:problem with memory using swing component

We use Java SDK 1.4.0-b92 on a Sun Blade Machine with Solaris 8 Operating System.
We developed a software with a GUI (JFame, JInternalFrame) which have to be refreshed in precise moments and any time we do it there is a big loss of memory(not the Java Virtual Machine Memory but the system memory, see it with the command "vmstat"). It seems that memory isn't released even if we close one or more of the JInternalFrame/JFrame.
This is a part of our example code which refresh some JTextArea every ten seconds,with the content of a text File called "text.txt" :

Yes I'm still following the thread.
Like i said i only have ovi maps running with PhoNetInfo and even today i tested it again. I managed by changing some settings to get 50MB of free RAM when the phone is idle.
I changed the amount of allowed RAM to be used by ovi maps to the minimum (10%). This time i had 40MB of free ram before calculating the root (again more or less 600km) without tolls and the fastest root. i continued with PhoNetInfo on and following the value of free RAM and they kept falling till i get again the low memory error.
I tried then a "solution" that i got from nokia that stated to change the configuration of the internet to online, and it worked perfectly. But i don't think this is a solution since i can't have my phone always connected to the internet. I don't know is where i can suggest that nokia try to solve this problem but already sent an email to the client support stating this.
I don't think i can install a later version of ovimaps since it comes pre-installed on the phone and i don't see where i can uninstall it and where to find the earlier versions.
But thanks for the reply,

Problem with memory card slot on nokia c5 03

Sir,
I have a Nokia C5 03 from the last 8 months.....
Working very well.
Recently, my memory card stopped working.
I thought that there might be a problem in the memory card and bought a new one.
Even though i inserted new card in my phone, i am getting the same error.
In file manager it is displaying as "Memory card Corrupted."
I have checked the new memory card by inserting in to another phone which was working normally.
There i have even formatted the new memory card and again inserted into my c5.
Then also i am getting the same error message........
Can any one suggest me what to do in this regard??????
Thanks in ADVANCE.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Have you also tried inserting the old memory card to another phone as well? What happened after inserting it to another phone? If it's working properly with another phone, the memory card slot of the C5-03 might have an issue so you should bring it to the repair facility to have it checked.
You can search for the nearest repair facility in your area from this link: http://www.nokia.com/in-en/care-point-finder/
Hope this helps.

Problem with memory usage and CPU usage

Hello,
i have a problem with the memory usage and cpu usage in my project!
My application must run for more than 24 hrs. The problem is that the longer it runs the bigger is the memory and cpu usage!
It starts with ~15% CPU usage and ~70 MBytes memory usage. After ~ 24hrs the CPU usage is ~60% and the memory usage is ~170 MBytes!
After 3 days the CPU usage is almost about 70% and the memory usage is about 360 MBytes!
What can I do to reduce this huge recource usage?
Thank you!

Hi Pahe,
   I think the issue is memory usage, since CPU usage can increase due to greater memory requirements.
   Anyway, it's difficult to debug without seeing your code, can you post it (possibly for LV 7.1 compatibility)? Or just post a JPEG of the piece of code that can give problems...
   I guess you're appending data to an array instead of replace data elements, but I can't be sure...
   Have a nice day!

Problem with memory...in Flash

Hello. I work in Flash MX and recently i draw a small
animated film in Flash (about 5MB). When i almost finished i
receive this message:
"There is not enough memory to open this scene. Your document
is not damaged and may be safle saved.
To increase available memory, close open documents or quit
and use the Get Info command in the Finder to allocate more memory
to Flash."
Does enybody know what is "Get Info command" or what is
"Finder"?
P.S. I have 2GB DDR memory on my PS, so... may be Flash want
to increase available virtual memory.
I set up 5GB size of virtual memory - it still doesn't
work:)

Low memory? Not enough memory to open a scene?
I ran into this problem and I am running a dual G5 with 6
GIGS of ram! There is no way for me to possibly be out or ram.
So, I looked on all the forums and found the advice "go to
the finder and use get info to change the memory specifications for
flash". well, in OS X there is no need for this as applications are
more dynamically allocated ram. Also, I tried to enter new info
into the memory input fields in the get info and there was no way
to unlock them! Of course, I checked ownership, rights, etc...
So, back to the drawing board... well, as you might have
suspected. It was a single, corrupted graphic element! A symbol
element, to be precise.
Even scrolling down to it in the Library list caused my flash
to crash. I had to do a little keyboard gymnastics but managed to
delete after the first couple of tries. Then, I saved my cleaned
version and re-imported the needed graphic. worked like a charm.
Now I can publish, open, and export my document without flash
telling me I am low on ram.
MACROMEDIA GUYS... WHAT THE HELL?? WHY CAN'T YOU SEEM TO
PRODUCE PRODUCTS THAT HAVE MORE DOCUMENT STABILITY AND APPLICATION
INTEGRITY. DON'T BLAME IT ON THE OS, I HAVE NEVER HAD PHOTOSHOP
CRASH AND IT IS A MUCH BIGGER BEAST THAN FLASH!!!!
Now that, that's been said. I hope any of this rambling helps
someone else who is on a deadline and pulling out their hair
because the document that worked fine yesterday, suddently decided
not to open today.

Hello,
I did what you told:
- the mysql Jar version was already the mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin.jar (may be due to update SP2),
- I changed to adobe-ds.xml file,
- I tried to launch the workbench with -Xmx512m in the command line.
Here is the result:
1- the launch of the workbench isa bit faster.
2- when I try to login with the administrator account, it takes a long while. Then I get an error: I can not logon to the livecycle ES server from the workbench. The message is "Authentication for user administrator on server ... failed, please retry".
In my log file, I get the following.

I also got another error message - with another configuration when triying to launch the workbench with JRE 1.6.0.12 (I hoped for better performance when replacing the JRE folder) :

I also tried to to logon after renaming the folder JRE under: C:\Program Files\Adobe\LiveCycle ES\Workbench ES\Workbench . In order to use my default JRE which is 1.5.0-12.
On the whole, I still get so errors and I can not logon.
Do you have any suggestion ?
Thank you for taking some time to reply.
What I am tried to do is to added a HelloComponent.jar fronm a tutorial:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/dsc_development.html
My final goal is to developp a ECM Connector.
Thank you

Massive problem with memory usage

Hello ladies and gents!
Just before Christmas I bought my first MacbookPro 13" mid-2012 which is 2.5Ghz and 16gb RAM. Firstly it was just a toy since I've been using Windows for ages because of my work. After a while I've tried to make one or two projects on my mac and noticed it handles them quite nicely. I decided to move my entire workflow to mac and was more than happy with the results. Until last month.
I have no friggin' idea why but my macbook started to work terribly slowly. Nothing unextraordinary happened, there were no new apps or nothing like this. I've tried to manage the kernel_task problem but it helped only for a few days. Even if I kill the photoshop and illustrator processes, mac still uses more than 9GBs of RAM which drives me crazy. My Windows machine is only 12GB of RAM and same specs as my mac and it KICKS OFF it's butt!
What should I do? I love the OS X workflow but my clients won't accept delays any more!

I'm opening photoshop and my file. My first action is grabbing and moving picture which results in crashing photoshop. I'm speechless....................................

Has anyone had a problem with memory cards switching the file from EOS to EKS?

My camera memory cards have suddenly switched from an EOS file to an EKS file and are no longer readable. I don't know if the problem is my computer, my card reader, my memory cards, or my camera. It doesn't seem probable that two cards would become corrupted or go bad at the same time. I have two large capacity cards and two new high capacity cards that I haven't tried yet, but I'm afraid to try to use any of my other cards until I know what is going on with these two. The camera I'm using a 5D Mark II. Can anyone please help! This is a serious problem for me!
Thank you to everyone for your help and assistance!
Best regards,
Windsails

Lightroom should recognize your camera (assume it's LR3 or later) automatically without pointing it to the DCIM directory. The files you are referring to is system file I think and not the photos; thus OS cannot read the file.
Do you have a card reader? For some reason, if you connect your camera into Lightroom directly, sometimes LR doesn't show the preview of your images. Instead you'll get ? next to a gray box. If you don't have a card reader, just plug your camera in, ignore the ? and the gray box (this is LR problem, not your camera), then import them anyway. You should see your test shot once it's done importing.

Problems with memory when bringing many rows

I am developing a requirement where i have to generate records of affiliates and secures. Both of them have right and wrong records, so i have four ViewObjects.
In my page I have a panelTabbed with two showDetailItem, one for affiliates and one for secures. Inside a showDetailItem i have two panelBox,one for right records and one for wrong records. The four ViewObjects are tunned setting the range size to 25.
The problem is when i click from one showDetailItem to another it query again and memory lows unti it dies. For secures i am bringing 940000 right records and 280000 wrong records. For affiliates about 200000 for both.
So how can i fixed this?. I am thinking of using a iterator instead of table and make pagination.

Sound Problem Plus Memory Problem

I've also posted this same issue at the EVGA website with no help what so ever yet. Also if it's ok I'm having the above mentioned memory problem that it probable not related but if anyone does have good input I would love to hear. Hope this doesn't break any rules, didn't see anything in the listed rules thread. So here it goes.
Ok I'm having a few minor but very perplexing and annoying problems. I have recently built a new rig to include the following.
Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition
EVGA P55 FTW Intel P55 Socket LGA56
Intel Core i5-750 2.66Ghz 8M LGA56 CPU
Corsair Dominator 4GB DDR3 PC2800 (2 x 2 GB sticks)
Ultra LSP750 750w Power Supply
Seagate TB Serial ATA HD 7200/32MB
Cooler Master HAF 932 Full Tower Black Case
Galaxy GeForce GTS 250 52MB PCIe x2 (SLI Setup)
BFG - NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT GB GDDR3 PCI Express Graphics Card (Physx Setup)
PROBLEM ONE:
This one I had a lot less that I was able to actually try because it just confused the crap out of me. So I started by going to test my sound. I'm running an optical cable from the on board sound port to back of my sony surround sound system. I get sound from my left and right channel but nothing from the center, rears or sub. So figure no biggie just need to change the configuration from 2 speaker stereo to 5. surround sound. Guess what... the option isn't there? WTF? A sound card with an optical port with no 5. support? So went online found the drivers for the sound on the mother board and tried reinstalling thinking maybe somthing was wrong with the drivers on the CD. Well it still didn't work. So I figured what ever, I got an external sound card that I know works with Windows 7 since it was on other desktop and hooked it up. Its a Creative - Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5. External USB Sound Card. Well it installs fine and I go to test it. Yep you guessed it! Still only sound from the left channel and the right channel with no option for surround sound. So I was able to find updated drivers for that and ran em. Well now I have an option for Surround sound with side speakers only no rear. Oh but it doesn't really matter because the left and right channel are still the only ones able to produce sound. And yes the speakers work I turned on my X-Box 360 hooked up to the same speakers and LCD tv and played COD4 with full sound working fine. So something else has to be happening I just have no idea.
PROBLEM TWO:
The second problem was with the memory. Everything booted fine but it initial only detected 2 GB. By the way I had them installed in slots and 3. So I shut down and popped em out checked the copper connectors everything looked fine and reseated the chi
ps.
This time during the boot up I checked the BIOS. It saw all 4 GBs of memory. Continued into Windows. Windows now saw all 4 but only .99 GB was available. Now the only other time I've seen anything like this was with on board video sharing the memory, and even then it wasn't half of the systems total memory. I then tried shutting down and putting the chips in 2 and 4 just see what would happen. Well I got an EA post error on the LED, couldn't even boot. So I figured o'well power down completely and tried to run the memory in 2 and 3 to run it out of dual channel. I was able to boot but still had the same issue. .99 GB available and still saw all 4. At this point it was just getting silly so I figured ok I'll download the new BIOS with my laptop, burned it to a CD. Booted the desktop and ran the BIOS flash. Update seemed work fine, honestly the BIOS didn't look much different and I didn't take note of the previous version before I did it so I can only assume it worked. However it did not fix my problem. So I'm still stuck at windows seeing 4 GB of memory with only .99 available.
Anyway... I'll keep trying to get this working and hunting around online, but I'm really hoping you all have some ideas. I'll be trying to call EVGA today for some help too and possibly Corsair. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello,
cannot help with the sound problem.
For memory, I've got almost the same thing but with 4 sticks of 2gb and only 2 detected on an ASUS P7P55D deluxe.
Bios was my issue but I needed to do this (but with pairs of sticks instead of sticks) after the bios update to finally get my 8gb under windows:
Make a clear cmos. Then boot the computer with only one stick of ram in the port .
If everything is fine, turn off and add the other port of the same color for dual channel.
If it does not boot with the 2 sticks in the port of the good color, try to switch ports again. Maybe one stick is dead?

MAC OS X Lion performance problem - broken memory management

Starting with OS X 10.5 there are evident memory management problems in MAC OS X. The web was already then cluttered with complaints about system slowing down dramatically after some time. Back then i had slower machine, Mac Mini with 1GB RAM, so i (wrongly) concluded that it was due to inferior hardware.
Now i have 2010 MBP, core i7, 8 GB RAM, dual GPU.
Mac os X Snow Leopard was pain, but after migrating to OS X Lion, working some serious stuff on MAC started to be a nightmare.
I finally managed to reproduce the problematic scenario, so i run the test and recorded the screen, into video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5wZwZh61_4
I run the tar+bzip command, which is basic unix stuff, on the large amount of picture files, in my Pictures/ folder. Just before start, i run the "purge" command, to delete inactive/cached program data.
You can see on the video that free memory starts to drop very fast, and inactive is constantly rising. If you take a look at "bsdtar" command, it takes only a fragment of RAM, so the problem is not in this process. You cannot say that it is a program memory leak, because then the problem would not be in inactive ram, rather in active/wired.
When the free memory dropped below 100mb, i started some apps, like Safari, iPhoto and MS Word, and you can see in the video, that it takes even minutes to start an app, when normally (when there is free RAM), it would take some 3-5 secs to load.
I run the same scenario and the same commands on my Linux Centos 6 box, no problem there ! Memory usage is some 10-20mb, no problems with cache/buffer.
The memory management must be very broken in Mac OS X !

Broken? That's a bit harsh.
Immature? That's perhaps a better explanation.
This paper describes Priority Paging as implemented in Solaris 2.7 back in 1998, and that's essentially what Mac OS X is in need of today:
The problem is that when pages are needed, no differentiation is made between system file cache pages and application pages, and worse, the file cache can actually steal pages needed by applications.
Finally when Dynamic Pager starts up and needs to start swapping things out, it's fairly heavy weight in operation, and causes the UI not responding cursor (aka the spinning beach ball) to appear.
