I run the swish program (creates an index for web search engines) in
our AIX 4.3.3 server and the program runs out of memory (malloc
fails). Is there a way to increase the per process memory resource?
Let us see if I understand that. As long as there is physical memory
and paging space available malloc should not fail, unless the per
process parameter is exceeded. I don't think the system runs out of
physical resources, so the latter must be true.
Thanks

This application may hit 256MB memory limit (1 memory segment) - to
increase
# of segments you can: 1) recompile application to allow it use more
memory segments (cant remember the flag now) 2) manually modify header of
executable with dd
But you have to try to set ulimit to unlimited before going into changing
the header,

1. Page outs with LOTSA memory: why?
I've read up on everything I can regarding Solaris's memory
management, and can't figure out why, with 768 MB of RAM, that it's
still paging out. It averages between 24 and 100 at any given time.
The only app it's running is a web cache/proxy product from Network
Appliance, therefore there's a huge number of object files it's
managing. Here's a clip...

The box is an E-450 with 2 CPUs. You'd think it was almost
