more memory for P5??
« on: Sep 1st, 2003, 5:50pm » |

One evening I went browsing through the pde.properties and other text files containing the settings for P5... This might be me imagining things (I can't seem to find it again!) but is it possible to set the amount of memory that P5 claims from the system I seem to remember seeing 64 mb. But, I might have been snoozing off and imagining things!
When I was playing with my ParanoidEye project (http://proce55ing.net/discourse/yabb/board_Contribution_Info_ac_tion_display_num_1061595117.html) I could not use the screenGrab() method (I got a out of memory error!) so I used the printScr-button and Photoshop to save my images!...
So.. I was wondering if in any way I could increase the power of p5, by adding more memory
(sketch: 1400x1050 pixels/ system: WinXP, P5_0058 784 mb ram)
Cheers,
Mikkel
PS - I didn't post the error recieved in the bug section since, running LARGE sketches has been reported to produce an out of memory error!

If you open up the processing folder it looks like you can modify the run.bat file to change the memory.
I reckon that's what you saw before
hope that helps.

How come when I run P5 using run.bat (instead of running processing.exe) my apps run WAY faster? The 3D demos are much smoother this way.

perhaps the memory is set to low in processing.exe? it uses -mx64m and -ms64m.. you should get the same results with either run.bat and the .exe if -mx and -ms are set to the same things.
if you've set run.bat to use more ram then that may be speeding things up. let us know if that's actually the case..

nope, haven't changed a thing. it's most noticable with the 3D samples, ie. embedded push/pop.
