- We have a 4d/380s with 128MB of physical memory. It's used for
- computational chemistry. Although there's plenty of available memory,
- long running processes never seem to stay completely resident as evident
- from the top(1) listing below. Why does this happen?
-
- Ocassionally, these processes will be killed due to insufficient swap
- storage although we think there is plenty of available memory. The
- current swap is 48MB and we will be expanding it to 128MB soon.
