Re: limiting kernel memory

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

    Thanks for the reply.  My question is as follows

         I am having multicore system with  total 4GB RAM . I am running Linux on
      one core and other RMIOS application on the other cores.  Since Linux is using
      all 4GB total physical RAM, I  want to restrict this physical RAM from 4GB to 2GB,
      so that Linux should use only 2GB out of 4GB so that
      I can run my RMIOS application on other 2GB physical RAM

(NOTE: Linux should not interfere with other 2GB RAM which my application is using)

Please answer my query and thanks in advance.

Hemanth

Hemanth,

You can set a hard memory limit with the mem= kernel parameter.

see here:
