Hi,
When I run many heavily multi-threaded (1000+ threads/process) and
memory intensive (1800 MB+/process) processes on FreeBSD 8.0 amd64, some
of them get in STOP state in top and then seg fault and core dump. Are
stop states in top caused by seg faults or it is the OS that stops the
processes because they exceed some limit? I do not see any message about
any limit being exceeded. The machine has 12GB of memory so it should
be able to sustain 4 processes using 1800MB each of memory I guess (I
have 12 GB of swap space anyway but it stays unused). Everything runs
fine if I run a single process and I have never encountered such
problems when running these on Linux. Anyone has an idea?
I am using the default limits right now:
>limit
cputime unlimited
filesize unlimited
datasize 33554432 kbytes
stacksize 524288 kbytes
coredumpsize unlimited
memoryuse unlimited
vmemoryuse unlimited
descriptors 11095
memorylocked unlimited
maxproc 5547
sbsize unlimited
swapsize unlimited
Thank you!
