memory problem

[shuelala]

Hi stan,

my computer have 5 gigs of ram, but expertlotto 5.xx or Dev version only use 247.5MB max in my computer, I just wandering is only limited to this, can I increase memory up to 1 gigs, then I can run 20 or more complex filters simultanteously. because I created lots of complex filters for different results approach.

Thanks!

first of all you should get 64bit java. expert lotto can use only 1gb of ram when using 32bit version of java.
so if you don't have 64bit java installed, uninstall all 32bit version of java, download and install 64bit version here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html

then find the windows shortcut which runs expert lotto, right-click and select 'properties'. into 'target' field add the following parameter: -J-Xmx2048m
it will give expert lotto 2gb of ram limit. naturally, you can increase/decrease that limit as you like.

Hi Stan.

I have a similar issue after upgrading to 5.1 and trying to run Optimize Coverage I get after 20 sec the error "Not Enough Memory"

My system is a 8 cores Xeon with 12GB of RAM, windows 7 64 bit and I do have java 64 bit installed.

I tried the option -J-Xmx and get the an error when trying to launch the program.

Help greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I tried the option -J-Xmx and get the an error when trying to launch the program.

the option should be

Code: Select all

-J-Xmx1000M

- that will give expert lotto about 1gb of available ram. you can use a higher number but you must be using 64-bit version of java
