Or user limit ? You test program is going to allocate 79 + 1 pages for bm 1 + 1 for each double arrays (x 40000) So in the end your program is allocating 80080 pages, so about 312MBytes. It not that big for a 64bits system. Check limits such as -d the maximum size of a process's data segment -l the maximum size a process may lock into memory -m the maximum resident set size Regards. -- Yann Droneaud -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
