I recently discovered (this may be obvious to many of you) that running an analog.exe, modified in the manner described below, allows access of up to 4GB on 64-bit versions of Windows.
This allows processing of twice as much data over the official analog.exe Windows binary. I gleaned the key information from the upper-right cell in the table on this page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778.aspx "4 GB with IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE set" On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 5:03 PM, Nick Altmann <nick...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've had a little success working around the 2GB memory limit issue with > the 32-bit analog.exe for Windows. > > After trying to see if I could re-compile Analog with 3GB support, I found > it was possible to directly edit the existing binary using this command: > > editbin.exe /LARGEADDRESSAWARE analog.exe > > This created a version of analog.exe that can access up to 3GB of memory on > Windows systems that have the /3GB switch enabled. > > It's not as good as a full 64-bit version (any progress on that front?), > but it may give some of you a little more breathing room. > > I still don't know how to modify the source or compiling parameters for > this, but you can use the command above to achieve the same effect. > > I'm happy to send the .exe to anyone who's interested. > > > On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 12:27 PM, Aengus <analo...@eircom.net> wrote: > >> Joelle Tegwen <jteg...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > Hi, >> > I realize that I'm asking the choir here, but I'm hoping to get an >> > honest assessment. >> > >> > We're looking for a new log analyzer.
