Bug#827953: maxima: Uses too much memory to build

Greetings! I just wanted to keep you abreast of the latest upload. I've put in an improvement which I hope will allow better use of the ram available without running into the fork/exec faults we had seen in some configurations. This does not address the question of 'how much memory should we

Greetings, and thanks so much! It appears that all is working as intended, that gc is triggered and keeping the active heap to about 2.8Gb (or 3.9Gb with relocatable copy area) of a detected max of 5.3Gb (see core pages, and physical memory). At the end of this experiment, the rss of this process

Greetings, and thanks so much for your report! More reply later, but just want to point out for now that the memory used for the build depends on the memory available at runtime. These packages will build just fine on machines with small memories. The memory usage algorithm is a performance

Bug#827953: maxima: Uses too much memory to build

Package: maxima Version: 5.38.0-3 Hello Camm. The more memory it has the machine on which I build this package, the more memory it uses during the build, and there does not seem to be a limit for that. Last time it was a machine with 8GB RAM. The file /proc/meminfo reported a Committed_AS
