Hallo, I am sorry if I am bothering you with a problem. I want to run a Fortran77 program on a linux PC: uname -a outputs: Linux circe.cips.mpg.de 2.4.0 #2 SMP Thu Mar 29 19:30:02 MDT 2001 i686 unknown The program is quite big depending on the parameters given. If I increase the parameters over a certain range I get a segmentation fault if I start the program. The maximum size ofthe program is about 700MB although the machine has actually 16GB of memory. However, the system accesses only 4GB as far as I was told and top gives the following lines: CPU states: 99.2% user, 0.6% system, 0.0% nice, 0.0% idle Mem: 3765748K av, 2767912K used, 997836K free, 0K shrd, 109444K buff Swap: 0K av, 0K used, 0K free 1839460K cached to add more information the command limit gives the following result: 18:08> limit cputime unlimited filesize unlimited datasize unlimited stacksize 8192 kbytes coredumpsize 0 kbytes memoryuse unlimited descriptors 1024 memorylocked unlimited maxproc 522240 openfiles 1024 At the moment I don't understand, why I can't run the program with the higher parameters. Do you have any ideas or suggestions where to look for more data or what might be wrong. I would appreciate any help very much, yours, Joachim Geiger -- -----------------------------------------------@\\ Joachim Geiger @\\ Institute for Plasma Physics, Euratom Association\\\ Department E3 \\\__ Wendelsteinstr. 1 ( \\ \ D-17489 Greifswald \_ \\(_ Germany ) \\ \ e-mail: joachim.geiger@ipp.mpg.de \ - | --------------------------------------------------- \____/ -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
