We are running a very large database (in both quantity and size of geometry) in
dvMockup 6.0.1 from PTC/Division. The models execute properly when running in a
single pipe, single channel mode, but fail when running in a multi-pipe or
multi-channel mode. The failure is a Performer memory error. The error suggests
increasing the PFSHAREDSIZE variable. We have done that, but have run against a
hard limit of 488Mb. We have also acquired a memory analysis tool called "dpa".
After running it on the visual executable, we discovered that the 488Mb limit
resurfaced in the memory listing. We tried several ways to expand the memory
regions, but do not have the resources to determine the effective memory
management. After doing some research through previous Performer mailings, this
looks like a common, yet difficult to solve problem. We are looking to expand
the pool to roughly 800Mb if possible. The dvMockup tool supports setting memory
locations and sizes as long as they fit within the system allocations.

*****Error Message when DVISE crashes: *********************
PF Fatal/Resource(1): pfMemory::new() Unable to allocate 5648 bytes
from arena 0x422c8000.
Try using pfSharedArenaSize() or env PFSHAREDSIZE
to increase the arena size
(currently 488281.25 KBytes) and check for adequate setrlimit()
values and available space on swap (or pfTmpDir()).
PF Warning/Usage(10): pfGetStage() Must call after pfConfig.
