Hi list, I was wondering if there is a way to set a limit on how much
virtual memory the operating system should be allowed to allocate? I have a
MacPro with 16G of memory running 10.5.6. When using 64 bit applications to
analyze big data sets it happens occasionally that the application requests
more memory than can be accommodated on the system. As a result, pages are
written to disk until there's no more disk space available, which hangs the
machine.. Is there a way to change this behavior, such that I would get a
memory allocation error instead when (some times accidentally) trying to
allocate such huge chunks of memory? Thanks!
Cheers,
M
