I've had similar problems recently. Try unsetting the PFSHAREDBASE or changing it
to some other value. That did the trick for me
Kind regards,
Jeroen

Subject: [info-performer] help with pfMemory and PFSHAREDSIZE
Hi,
I am trying to run a N32 Performer application on an Onyx4 but it fails with
the pfMemory error:
PF Fatal/Resource: pfMemory::new() Unable to allocate 59576 bytes from arena 0x20000000.
Try using pfSharedArenaSize() or env PFSHAREDSIZE
to increase the arena size
(currently 976562.50 KBytes) and check for adequate setrlimit()
values and available space on swap (or pfTmpDir()).
When I run this application, I have
PFSHAREDSIZE set to 1000000000
PFSHAREDBASE set to 0x20000000
The Onyx4 is 4 CPU/4GB memory running 6.5.24 and OpenGL Performer 3.1.1
This same application will however run well on an Octane2 with 2 CPU/512Mbytes
memory running 6.5.24 and OpenGL Performer 3.1.
Additionally, this application also fails on an Onyx3 with 24CPU/24GB memory
running 6.5.24 and OpenGL Performer 3.1.1. It also fails on a different 8
CPU/8GB memory Onyx4.
Since it runs on a desktop machine but not on larger machines, I assume there
must be something configured differently about the larger machines.
Can you give me any ideas on where to look for differences in the larger
machines?
I have compared the values of "systune shm". The larger machines have larger
values. As a test, I changed the Onyx4 systune shm parameters to match the
Octane systune shm values, but the application continues to fail.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
-Steve
