We seem to be having a similar problem on our Onyx2 IR, 6.5.2m, Performer
2.2.1 eoe. Can you tell me how the Performer app is failing? We have a terrain
data set with a 2Kx2K texture map in an inventor file that we are trying to
load. We get a pfSharedArena error when trying to load the file, no matter
what we set PFTMPDIR and PFSHAREDSIZE to. Perfly just seems to keep chewing up
memory until it runs out and dies. Similar data sets seem to run OK if the
texture and/or geometry is smaller.
My error:
PF Fatal/Resource: pfMemory::new() Unable to allocate 100663312
bytes from arena 0x40000000.
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()).
PID PGRP USERNAME PRI SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU% CPU% COMMAND
414689 414689 bcorrie 20 1059M 922M run/7 0:38 72.9 90.06 perfly_
Again, strangely enough, ivview has no problem on these data sets. I suspect
it is either an inventor loader bug or a Performer texturing bug. Resident set
size of ivview when it is loaded is of the order of 130MB, so the above
numbers (RSS for perfly at 900MB+ and climbing 8-) seem way out to lunch...
Anyone have any comments? Thanks in advance,
Brian
