Shared memory shortage but lots of unused memory

I am running HP-UX B.11.11. I'm increasing a parameter for a database engine so that it uses more memory to buffer the disk drive (to speed up performance). I have over 5GB of memory not being used. But when I try to start the DB with the increased buffer parameter I get told. "Not...

memory sharing - not shared memory -

hi, this is the problem: i want to swap a linked list between 4 processes (unrelated), is there any way i can do that just by sending a pointer to a structure? //example typedef struct node { int x; char c; struct node *next; } node; or i should send the items ( x,c ) by...

Shared memory in shared library

I need to create a shared library to access an in memory DB. The DB is not huge, but big enough to make it cumbersome to carry around in every single process using the shared library. Luckily, it is pretty static information, so I don't need to worry much about synchronizing the data between...

Shared memory for shared library

I am writing a shared library in Linux (but compatible with other UNIXes) and I want to allow multiple instances to share a piece of memory -- 1 byte is enough. What's the "best" way to do this? I want to optimize for speed and portability. Obviously, I'll have to worry about mutual exclusion.

Linux Shell Piping w/Shared Memory

So I am pretty new to the linux environment, and I am trying to create a shell that uses multiple pipes, and I read online that piping using shared memory space is more efficient than using regular piping. However, I have zero clue how to use shared memory space with pipes. Has anyone done this...

NAME

       unlockable_mem - OBSOLETE kernel tunable parameter

DESCRIPTION

       The tunable is obsolete and has been removed.

       Memory  locking	allows the privileged user to specify which pages need to remain in memory, and unaffected by the swap process.  This fea-
       ture allows you to ensure that memory access times are unaffected by delays introduced by memory paging and swapping.  For example, locking
       is  a  tool  provided  to privileged users on a system that is short on physical memory.  Instead of having these privileged processes swap
       like the rest of the processes, they can lock portions of their address space.  Once the pages are locked in for the privileged	processes,
       they will no longer have to worry about memory contention.  The unprivileged processes however, will have to compete for memory.

       provides you with a limiting factor on this privileged behavior, by setting the amount of memory which cannot be locked by user processes.

WARNINGS

       Installation  of  optional  kernel  software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable parameter values.  After installation,
       some tunable parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values.  For information about the effects of installation  on  tun-
       able  values,  consult  the documentation for the kernel software being installed.  For information about optional kernel software that was
       factory installed on your system, see at
