Hi all.

We (Eng Sys Div Team) have faced severe problem in UNIX client system.

It is easyily occuring the process killing in case of loading big data in CAD application.
So, I logged by glance, and calling for your help.

After review my logs, plz reply my posting to resolve a problem.

(When memory loaded over 2GB, application in UNIX workstation is being shutdowned)

thanks in advance ..

Memory is not one gigantic lake that can all be allocated for one program.

It is divided up into pools for various purposes. For one application to take 2 GB is probably causing a severe memory shortage.

The answer is probably to add more memory to the workstation or break up the 2 GB file/whatever into smaller, more manageable pieces.

Additionally you can also think of of increasing swap size. Have a look at "swapon" command.

Hi Tony,

Upgrading the system memory and swap will resolve your problem. But first try to extend the swap or to add additional swap from different device than the swap on current one.
Can you send the kernel parameters of your system?
