Bug #: 30307 Summary: Memory Allocation severely limited when running wine executable via condor scheduler Product: Wine Version: 1.4-rc6 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: blocker Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jbherman@gmail.com Classification: Unclassified
memory allocation problem: symptom: ~300MB allocation denied on an ubuntu linux box with 8GB running wine1.4 (also tested wine1.5).
I've created a simplified test case taking advantage of the memory test program contributed here (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=32366). I compile it via:
#i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -O0 test-mem.c -o test-mem.exe
thereby creating a windows executable that runs under wine. The test program successfully allocates memory (malloc) up to 1408 megabytes, which (while disappointing) is completely expected and about as much as I can get in 32bit windows.
THE PROBLEM: run the same executable via the condor scheduler (http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/) and the largest allocation is 448MB!! I have extensively investigated the issue and posted on the condor-users list, to absolutely no avail.
I need to provide my 32-bit windows program with as much memory as possible. WHAT TO DO? any thoughts/help appreciated.
thanks, jason
