Hi Dan, Yes I've been coding for a living for 15 years in C#.
/var/log/messages:Sep 1 12:41:34 debian-s-websites kernel: [31104249.962672] .NET ThreadPool invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x6280ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_ZERO), nodemask=(null), order=0, oom_score_adj=0 /var/log/messages:Sep 1 12:41:34 debian-s-websites kernel: [31104249.973435] oom_kill_process.cold.30+0xb/0x1cf Dan - you found my problem. Thanks! When the program is running I have this: Mem: 989Mi 579Mi 64Mi 149Mi 346Mi 120Mi It clearly thinks 64M is not enough. I know my program can require up to a Gig of memory for the bigger datasets. What is the minimum GNU/Linux will tolerate so I don't end up throwing money away on unused RAM?
