hi<br>i have an installation with a number of PIII machines, where some picture manipulation (2D) is done,<br>working nicely on Win-XP and Flash 8 (in 256 Mb).<br><br>now i&#39;m trying to change from Flash to GEM.<br>the patch i made works perfect on a P4.<br>
<br>the PIII&#39;s don&#39;t have SSE2; therefore i rebuild Pd-ext 42.5 for Linux - (Ubuntu Lucid).<br>however running the patch on the PIII still looks like impossible.<br>Pd/GEM just calls it quits, no message.<br><br>a basic picture consists of 16 pieces of 800 x 533 pixels, together forming one of 3200 x 2133.<br>
<br>to create a full picture resized to 800 x 533 on a normal display,<br>i have 16 identical abstractions, for each piece one,<br>with a gemhead, a pix_texture, a resize, etc.<br><br>with 8 abstractions/pieces Pd/GEM stays alive, 9 is one too many.<br>
memory problem?<br><br>using the Ubuntu system monitor:<br>bare system (with the monitor) ~290 Mb usage. (of 496MB)<br>starting Pdx console ~300-310 Mb.<br>loading/running the patch   ~335-355 MB.<br><br>??<br><br>on the opening of the patch GEM anounces 8 bits will be used,<br>
where the onboard video-card has 24bits.<br><br>any help is appreciated.<br><br>rolf<br>
