OutOfMemoryException ?

[jarek]

Peter,

Virual memory = 16MB only.
Physical memory = 16GB

SFS=220 (first screen shot)
SFS=220 (second, after closing OUT OF MEMORY screen)
SFS=150 (third screen)

migrating from Z-2 with 1000 SFS to Z-3, I am confronted with this OutofMemory Exception too,

At least this one I can explain now ...

In 0.9z-2 there was a limit on the "first" allocation of memory, and this was (in SFS terms) 120. Your 1000 was appreciated, but lateron and only when the track length required it. Not so anymore (not even with SFS.ini = 00). So if you now ask for 1000, it will do that regardless, unless your system can't (which means Out of memory). Now, for 1000 it never will, because one thread can allocate 2000 only while the 1000 will grow into 3x 1500 and 1x 1000 = 5500. Way too much.

My case (SFS = 260) : 3 x 390 + 1x 260 = that 1.4GB I indicated earlier (or in a topic elsewhere, probably the "SFS Solved" topic.

This also implies that max SFS would be something like near 400, because of the 3x 600 + 1x400 = 2200 = just too much.

So what I would suggest now, is that nothing changed but the immediate allocation of the memory per above "formula", and/but your systems won't allow for this 2GB somehow (and it never did !).

Before I continue, Jarek, can you increase your Virtual Memory (Page Size) to a couple of GB and tell me whether it makes a difference ?
Or otherwise, may it be so that you too have that limit of 218 ?
(3x 327 + 1x 218 = 1199 -> ??)

Now, maybe it is so that this is somehow a 64bit quirk/limit; Can anyone with a 64bit OS confirm to use more than 220 for SFS (in 0.9z-3 of course) ?

Lastly for Goon-Heaven, your Virtual Memory of 8GB ... you do have 8GB space left on your OS disk, right ?

Just tried as requested and the boundary on my system is between 247 & 248 MB. At a setting of 247 the album I had queued started playing fine. At 248 or above the OutOfMemoryException message came up just after GUI dissappeared.

I tried it with 2 different albums.

I've been using a value of about 60 to 75 till now so haven't noticed this error until mentioned.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Thanks for the explanation - I seemed to have missed that 2Gb thread memory limit in the "SFS Solved/Hey can we get Peter to write a RAMdisk player/device driver" thread. Where does that limit come from? .NET?

My OS disk is down to its last 46Gb.

Changing to scheme1 has enabled me to get buffer size back to where it was.

Peter,

I checked SFS=200 and it is too much, the same 180. When 160 it is OK.
Now I lowered ramdisk size from 8GB to 6GB.

Now I lowered ramdisk size from 8GB to 6GB.

With the result of ?

(sorry, but I expected some conclusion out of that )

Nah, that's from very long ago. But anyway, that is not what seems to bug you both.
Edit : The limit comes from being a 32 bit application (which is on purpose thus far).

Russ, thanks. So, no 64bit quirk either eh ...

I'm really puzzled.

Btw, below is my screenshot, this time from a 16/44.1 not upsampled (now playing) and an SFS of 260. Memory is 3GB, RAMDisk is 1GB (SFS.ini = 2.1).
Maybe someone else sees the secret ?

Jarek, hello-oo ?
