stupid question about shmmax, shmmni and shmall...
Hello, I am trying to run a demanding quantum chemistry program on a cluster of multiprocessor machines. Each machine has 2 dual-core opterons and 16Gb of RAM, and is running a 64 bit kernel (currently 2.6.26) and userspace (lenny) system. Interprocess communications among processes on the same node go via shared memory (a lot of it), hence I need to set it to the maximum possible. Can somebody tell me what are the maximum supported values for shmmax, shmmni and shmall (I know I can set them via /proc/sys/kernel pseudofiles) or (even better!) tell me how I can calculate them? Is it likely that a too large value of shmmax or the other two can cause applications to segfault?

Re: stupid question about shmmax, shmmni and shmall...
I bookmarked a fairly decent description of these parameters a while back: http://www.puschitz.com/TuningLinuxForOracle.shtml#SettingSharedMemory Maybe you already know this, but you can also set these parameters in /etc/sysctl.conf. That way they persist between reboots, etc. -Ron- 2009-03-05_13:43:30-0500 Giacomo Mulas gmu...@oa-cagliari.inaf.it: Hello, I am trying to run a demanding quantum chemistry program on a cluster of multiprocessor machines.

The shared memory IPC could also be done thru mmap calls with
appropriate parameters (a real common open file descriptor, MAP_SHARED,
)
I believe you won't have real size limitation but I would suggest to
have the mmap-ing fit into RAM.
Of course, you have to synchronize your processes using some different
mechanism (pipes, sockets, IPC semaphores semget semop, Posix
semaphores, ...) or even maybe mutex inside the common shared mmap-ed
memory
