I have a process who allocates as much as possible of RAM in 4 G ram 32bit machine. This buffer is never released.
Questions: 1. Is it better allocates with many 1MB buffers or allocate it in with one a big valloc ? 2. I will be needing to make this memory allocation in many other machines , some have 2 GRAM and some 3 GRAM. what is the preferrable method ? 3. In 64bit machines , is it possible to allocate huge buffers , such as 30 GB of ram ?
