Hi everyone,
It seems like I run into memory problems when using moses server even
though I have plenty of memory available.
I isolated the problem in a little script (attached). I start the server
and send strings for translation iteratively. At a certain point it will
send the request and wait for a reply forever. The number of iterations
decreases, when I increase the length of the string.
It seems as if the already sent requests are "piling up" somewhere in
the server's or client's memory and at a certain point it doesn't have
the capacity to process the new request.
Has anyone gone through anything similar?
Cheers
Sarah
