hi miller ...

i'm curious about the new filer objects ... there is no denormal protection ... are you sure, they are denormal safe?

also here is a patch to force the os not to overcommit memory (see man mlockall):

--- s_inter.c 28 Oct 2004 09:09:39 -0000 1.1.1.2 +++ s_inter.c 29 Oct 2004 15:41:00 -0000 @@ -267,6 +267,13 @@ #endif

#ifdef _POSIX_MEMLOCK + /* tb: force memlock to physical memory { */ + struct rlimit mlock_limit; + mlock_limit.rlim_cur=0; + mlock_limit.rlim_max=0; + setrlimit(RLIMIT_MEMLOCK,&mlock_limit); + /* } tb */ + if (mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) != -1) fprintf(stderr, "memory locking enabled.\n"); #endif

cheers ... tim
