Another very common thing to ulimit is the number of processes. e.g., the default I think on Ubuntu is maybe 1000. I'm really sad to see that get_memory_usage() is suddenly no longer of any use in seeing how much memory Sage is using. It used to be extremely useful as a first check of usage. -- William >> Perhaps we should take any ulimits into account when we compute our >> defaults? > > > We do: > > $ sage -c "print get_memory_usage()" > 33707.9921875 > $ ulimit -v 10000000 > $ sage -c "print get_memory_usage()" > 3554.1171875 > $ ulimit -v 2000000 > $ sage -c "print get_memory_usage()" > 1600.98046875 > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-devel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. -- William (http://wstein.org) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
