Hi,
for a VolatileImage flush() will release the associated vram

However, for BufferedImage flush() will release only the
I should have said "managed image", since this applies to
other types of images as well.

vram-cached copies of the image, and not the java heap-based
data buffer, so in this case setting the reference to null
will definitely help to release the data quicker and
may in fact prevent OutOfMemoryErrors if you're allocating
images in a loop.
Thanks,

Hi,
what is the best way to free accelerated memory?
I have several VolatileImage objects at the same time. When I don't
need one of them anymore, I want it to be off the accelerated memory
as fast as possible because I need the memory for an other image.
Is it enough to do something like this (if "image" is a VolatileImage
object):
image = null;
Or is it better to call this (or does it make a difference, at all?):
image.flush(); image = null;
After the call "image=null;" is the accelerated memory freed
immediately or will it not be frred until the garbage collector
finally destroys my image object?
Are there any other possiblilities to free accelerated memory the fast
way?
I hope you got some good hints for me concerning this problem because
accelerated memory on my system is very rare.
Thanks,
Maik
