After opening a lot of programs, (attached the taskbar), memory decreases to a point, where it begins to increase. I am sure I can open another bunch of programs without problems. It reminds me of OS / 2 from many years ago.

Especially for the most restless ones like Pete, Ivan, Doug, David, it occurs to me that between config-sys changes, make restarts. Starting by
SET JAVA_HIGH_MEMORY=1 and restart the system
VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT=2048 and restart the system
SWAPPATH=C:\OS2\SYSTEM 2048 409600 and restart the system
In these things I am very careful, but ... I have not changed anything else.

Thanks, David
The problem now is that I think I create a second user in netlabs, and now I can't connect to netlabs

I can't believe that you don't have any upper memory so I zipped my working version and attach it here. Maybe you want to test.
Well this is something else:

I think it came with the above512 package but not sure anymore. With this little script it's easy to monitor memory usage without knowing the details of Theseus. I have it running all the time. So I get a feeling about memory consumption of different applications. And I see when memory runs out before it makes my system unstable.

Sample output here while some apps are running -
Code: [Select]
pm: 253056 sm: 156544  <---512---> pm: 1835008 sm: 1542520
pm: 253056 sm: 156544  <---512---> pm: 1835008 sm: 1542520
pm: 253056 sm: 156544  <---512---> pm: 1835008 sm: 1542520
This program seems silly to me, look what it shows me:
Code: [Select]
pm: 343680 sm: 265600  <---512---> pm: line, sm: /
pm: 343680 sm: 265600  <---512---> pm: line, sm: /
pm: 343680 sm: 265600  <---512---> pm: line, sm: /
pm: 343680 sm: 265600  <---512---> pm: line, sm: /
And EVERYTHING WORKS INCREDIBLY WELL for me. Except as always little nonsense, like the Seamonkey closes without asking you if you want to close open sales.
You commented days ago that this Atlassian application, I think I remember, ate the memory, after leaving the page open on the computer, leaving home and returning 1 or 2 hours, it appeared like this (attached photo). I had not lost memory, it remained.But their website failed.

For me the important thing is that others can replicate what I see.

You still haven't said what you are trying to achieve with these settings.  It would also help if you described the computer you are using them on (mboard, CPU, memory etc.).
This is what I want to do, that until now I didn't
OS/2 can run more programs and use more data than can actually be stored in memory at any given time. This is done by swapping large amounts of memory to your hard disk and then reading the data back into memory when needed. This is called virtual memory.

My swapper.dat file hovers around 2 Mb regardless of what I do.
You have put the first two lines of the config-sys as is, and have increased the number in the swappath?

Since all my java programs are started from program objects I don't have java mentioned in my config.sys.
Neither do I

I just got this error out in FM / 2 ver 3.24, attached photo. Is this from netlabs? or I don't know who to send the file to.
Pete and Ivan,
but have you tried it, my setup suggestion?
Pete is a **dir** comand, error? in copy paste?

Hi roberto,
Parameter:
 
mmm is a number from 512 to 32767 which specifies how large the SWAPPER.DAT file can grow before it stops consuming hard disk space. The size is stated in the negative. In other words, if you have the mmm set to 512, then the SWAPPER.DAT file can grow until there is only 512k left on your hard disk.
 
nnn is the starting size of the SWAPPER.DAT file.
Can you explain this:
[C:\os2\system]dir swapper.dat

The volume label in drive C is ARCAOS.
The Volume Serial Number is C78D:15C3.
Directory of C:\os2\system

18/07/20  9:16    1.258.291 K      0 ----  SWAPPER.DAT
        1 file(s) 1.258.291 K bytes used
                   12.948.082 K bytes free

Maybe the manual is old?

PD. By removing ramdisk, it improves performance. The hard disk I am using is an sdd.

I understand that a Ramdisk is something else.
 I have a 4100mb ramdisk as drive g:
 When trying to fill it with data everything has been blocked. Reboot the system.
I have formatted it as jfs and I have put 256mb of reserved low memory and without problems.
I have filled the 4.1gb ramdisk with 4gb of files without any problem.
I'm also not sure I understand your question.

Not only is it a swap issue, with small amounts of memory, no improvements are seen,
 but it still works like the engine of a Ferrari.
  You don't need to see it to know that it sounds perfect.
  This system is a ver504 upgraded to 505 from Arcaos.

Keep these two values in the config.sys fixed without changing them:

SET JAVA_HIGH_MEMORY=1       rem in the end of the config.sys
VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT=2048     rem remplace value


Then modify this line until it is adjusted to optimal performance:

SWAPPATH=C:\OS2\SYSTEM 2048 1228800  rem this is my value 1228800

Start with 409600 adding blocks of 409600, i.e. 819200 , 1228800

If at any time the system stops booting, then ALT + F1 then F2 tedit config.sys esc and correct the number , save and restart.


In my case I have gone from some values at startup
With the old config.sys
[C:\]mem /v

Total physical memory:      8 142 MB
Accessible to system:       3 054 MB
Additional (PAE) memory:    5 088 MB

Resident memory:              124 MB
Available virtual memory:   2 880 MB

Available process memory:
  Private low memory:         376 MB
  Private high memory:      1 344 MB
  Shared low memory:          322 MB
  Shared high memory:       1 323 MB



to these


[C:\]mem /v

Total physical memory:      8 142 MB
Accessible to system:       3 054 MB
Additional (PAE) memory:    5 088 MB

Resident memory:              124 MB
Available virtual memory:   4 078 MB      ******!!!!*****

Available process memory:
  Private low memory:         387 MB
  Private high memory:      1 344 MB
  Shared low memory:          333 MB
  Shared high memory:       1 323 MB

After open a lot of programs:

[C:\]mem /v

Total physical memory:      8 142 MB
Accessible to system:       3 054 MB
Additional (PAE) memory:    5 088 MB

Resident memory:              148 MB
Available virtual memory:   2 817 MB

Available process memory:
  Private low memory:         100 MB
  Private high memory:      1 344 MB
  Shared low memory:            0 MB       see this ZERO!! NO PROBLEM NO CRASH
  Shared high memory:         461 MB


With the difference that everything flows better and works better.

I hope it works for you.
This ARCAOS is the best system in the world.
I am happy.

For Andy:
The web-site you were commenting on ate the memory, I put it with another one from yahoo that also did the same,
 and the one you were commenting on ended with a 404 hahahaha, Our memory is no longer eaten.
 Thanks Andy.

'mem' tells you how much physical RAM is accessible by OS/2. This has NOTHING to do with Virtual Address Limit which is a software concept unrelated to actual physical memory.

Every process has 4096mb of "virtual address space". The kernel always uses the top 1024mb of addresses from 3072 to 4096 mb. Virtual Address Limit determines how much of the remaining 3072mb a program is allowed to use.
Look for a computer with that defect of abnormal high memory.
Although it has nothing to do with it, the behavior is different.
I provided to put a value of virtualaddresslimit of 3100, and during the start it stopped but did not continue when pressing enter. What it does on a normal computer.Ivan was talking about amd, I have seen it in intel, so I think of something in the bios.

You can easily bring the upper shared memory down with Seamonkey and I think some javascripts. When I work on some wiki sites (Atlassian Confluence) it only needs a few tabs open and you have to have an eye on upper shared memory as it is all eaten up very fast. Even VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT=2560 does not help very much here.
I have also seen this problem of running out of memory in some web pages, try putting this in config.sys:
SET JAVA_HIGH_MEMORY=1
I think it improves, but you will say.

The error occurs when installing the 12.x kit from Arca. At the moment, I checked version 12.06 and
audio driver from version 12.06. I see a problem in the fact that USB 12.x drivers do not work correctly in a multiprocessor system.
Hello Igor
You can try to kill ACPIDAEMON.exe with top.exe or similar tool. Or rem in config.sys acpidaemon.exe. And test.

Hi Ivan
I understand that you have the virtualaddresslimit of the config.sys in 3072, and it will work fine for you. But could you do the test to put 3760, and tell us if it works, or if at startup it tells you that you have an erroneous value and puts it by default.?

Hi Pete
I would think more about the VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT.
Recently installed on a new arca505 partition, hang the system in five minutes.
Open the VLC + pmview + seamonkey
I have the virtualaddress... en 1536

Try doing the following, when booting the system, do not run any program after booting, look with mem / v in a comand com,
and look at the value of Available virtual memory: xxxx
You put that xxxx value in your config.sys in virtualaddresslimit, restart and tell us.

I did not hang the system anymore, I do not know if it will affect usb3.
But it costs little to prove it.
Saludos
