Package: cmucl Version: 19a-release-20040728-9 Severity: normal cmucl uses a lot of virtual memory. For example, running /usr/bin/cmucl on my system with no arguments gives this line with top: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S #C %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 10620 roger 15 -1 1284m 5044 24m S 0 0.8 1.0 0:00 cmucl It's using over 1 gigabyte of virtual memory! The system has 512 MiB of core memory and an extra 8 GiB swap space, giving 8.5 GiB total virtual memory. By default, the system has some resource limits specified in /etc/security/limits.conf * soft nproc 150 * hard nproc 200 * soft core 0 * hard core 20480 * hard maxlogins 15 * hard rss 100000 * soft priority 5 * soft stack 8192 * hard stack 8192 * soft as 524288 With the last "as" limit in place, cmucl won't run at all: $ cmucl mmap: Cannot allocate memory ensure_space: Failed to validate 268431360 bytes at 0x28000000 If the "as" limit is removed, cmucl will run just fine. So it seems the default value for allocation is way too large. If this is calculated at runtime, perhaps the calculation is broken? [I tried removing 6 GiB of swap and reinstalling to regenerate the core/memory dumps; this had no effect.] I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with Lisp: I installed cmucl to learn the language. I'll be more than happy to do any further testing, though.

Hello, I'm closing older bugs that litter the bts at the moment. 220797 is non-relevant because we don't do lispworks anymore ;-) 212018 is fixed in sarge 278137 I don't want to fix because the generation is brittle and depends on latex2html (a non-free package) 282716 because the memory system is unlikely to change any time soon 319427 because it is a ubuntu bug and should be fixed if you use the people.debian.org/~pvaneynd repository If you think this is unfair, please reopen and yell at me :-) Groetjes, Peter -- signature -at- pvaneynd.mailworks.org http://www.livejournal.com/users/pvaneynd/ "God, root, what is difference?"
