Memory Bottleneck?
« on: Mar 18th, 2004, 6:38am » |

I often get 'out of memory' errors when trying to run some of my larger programs.
Is there some preference I can set to correct this? I have a GIG of memory and I think I should be able to put it to good use if i can get java to let me use more than 32MB of it

are you starting processing via the .exe file or the .bat file?
if you choose the .bat route, you can edit the file to give you more memory:
here's what my run-expert.bat file says (found in the root directory of processing):
Code:
@echo off
REM --- if you're running out of memory, change the 256m
REM --- (which means 256 megabytes) to something higher.
set SAVEDCP=%CLASSPATH%
set CLASSPATH=lib;lib\build;lib\pde.jar;lib\kjc.jar;lib\antlr.jar;lib\oro.ja r;lib\comm.jar;%windir%\system32\qtjava.zip;%windir%\system\qtjava.zip
start javaw -ms256m -mx256m PdeBase
set CLASSPATH=%SAVEDCP%
|
|
when i sometimes run large programs, i change the -mx256m to something higher!

under Mac OS X, you have to edit
MRJApp.properties, that's in the Resources of Processing application and add the following option:
com.apple.mrj.application.vm.options=-Xmx512M
