Frequently Asked Questions

K9 seems to use a lot of CPU/memory, slowing down my other programs. Can I fix this?

Robin Keir's home page - Software - K9 - FAQ
Usually K9 is pretty efficient with its processing. However, depending on several factors it can consume a lot of horsepower for small periods of time. To help minimize these problems follow these steps. Make sure your Recent Emails list is kept reasonably short. Use the Cleanup and Storage options on the Configuration page to keep this list trimmed. The same applies to the Archives area lists. Again, use the Cleanup and Storage options to ensure that the lists never grow too large.

The workstation is running slow even if my computer has a lot of RAM memory. How can I fix this ?

To use our Complete workstation, you will need a configuration with at least 256Mb of memory (512Mb are recommended). For the Simplified workstation, 128Mb are required.

Runaway Processes (UNIX) How can I find and kill my runaway processes that use cpu and memory?

MFCF/CSCF Frequently Asked Questions: UNIX computing environ...
The runaway processes are created by a crashed program or session. They usually stay in the system for a long time and consume cpu-time and memory-space. They usually do not release the files they opened for reading or writing, therefore, you may face with lack of disk space, or files that you cannot delete. You can use the "ps" command to see different information about your processes and find runaway processes.

Can I use K9 as a "server" on another computer?

Robin Keir's home page - Software - K9 - FAQ
It is possible to have K9 running on one computer and be able to connect to it from another. However, there is a good reason why this isn't easily accomplished: K9 learns from what you as the sole user of the program considers to be spam. This is one of the benefits of statistical email analysis -- it learns from the experience of you telling it what is and what is not spam. Obviously spam can be subjective; what one person considers spam may not be considered so by another.

How about CPU speed and memory?

Riffster FAQ
The oldest box we use regularly for testing and development is a Pentium II laptop running at 266 MHz with 64MB of memory, 2MB of video RAM, and an on-board sound system with a 1024x768 display. No problem there. On a contemporary system (Pentium 4 processor running at 2.4GHz) Riffster has an average processor loading under 5%. Remember, on a Windows system you can't absolutely guarantee completely glitch free audio ? it's not a real-time operating system, so it's just not possible.

Do I use translation memory programs?

Technical Translation • European Portuguese • J. R...
Yes, I do. Given its wide acceptance in the translation world, I've selected TRADOS as my TM tool. I can create and develop my own translation memories or work with client-furnished memories.

How much memory should rdiff-backup use? Is there a memory leak?

rdiff-backup FAQ
The amount of memory rdiff-backup uses should not depend much on the size of directories being processed. Keeping track of hard links may use up memory, so if you have, say, hundreds of thousands of files hard linked together, rdiff-backup may need tens of MB. If rdiff-backup seems to be leaking memory, it is probably because it is using an early version of librsync. librsync 0.9.5 leaks lots of memory. Later versions should not leak and are available from the librsync homepage.

Whenever I make extensive use of the serial ports, I get a lot of fifo overruns. Is there a fix?

Errors
This error was due to a bug in the serial drivers. A fix has been made, but it did not make it into the 1.1 distribution kernel. Kernels since that time should have the fix incorporated. NOTE: If you are currently seeing this error, please read the paragraph at the bottom of this answer) Here is the latest from Bill Studenmund (wrstuden@loki.stanford.edu): I'm pleased to announce that we seem to have fixed the serial port problems. The current source on ftp.netbsd.org should be correct.

What kind of memory can I use on my Mac?

Herb's Mac Stuff FAQ
Mac computers and printers use a variety of memory, which is called "SIMMS" or "DIMMS" or "VRAM". Most of my memory is sold from a Mac Memory Web page. I provide some descriptions there of memory for most of the systems I sell, but not for the printers. For printers you'll probably have to look at Apple's manual or an Apple document. While I try to identify issues and problems when I can, it is up to YOU the customer to determine what memory and how much memory you need.

Why am I experiencing serious CPU load when I use kX ASIO driver under Logic?

FAQ
You should try disabling unused kX ASIO inputs and outputs. Logic opens all 16 inputs and 16 outputs by default.

What's up with memory usage and cpu load?

Azureus : Java BitTorrent client - FAQ
Memory usage is known to climb up and drop back repeatedly when using java jre 1.4.2 with some configurations. The cpu load is higher too.

How do I find out how much memory and CPU time my job used?

Supercomputing FAQs
The queue_job_id is the numeric job number. This is seen in the left column when you type "qstat -a" while the job is running. After the job completes, there will be an additional file in your directory with the job id number as part of the file name. In the output from tracejob, resources_used.cput is the amount of CPU time used, and resources_used.mem is the maximum amount of memory used.

Do I need to use the "Organize" button to train K9? What does it do?

Robin Keir's home page - Software - K9 - FAQ
No. K9 automatically "learns" as email passes through it on the way to your email program. There is nothing more you need to do other than correct the occasional mistake by selecting and re-classifying the individual emails. The Organize button is simply used to file away emails into the Good and Spam folders for housekeeping purposes.

How do I fix "Out of Memory" problems?

Techsource Systems Pte Ltd
A frequent variant of this question is: "I have 512M of RAM, and 2G of swap space. Why can't I create this 200M matrix?" Simple answers first: Remember that double precision floats take up 8 bytes. So a million element vector takes up 8Mbytes. Be sure you're estimating properly. Many operations need to create duplicate matrices. For example, B=inv(A.') must create a temporary variable the same size as A to hold the transpose, and B is again, the same size as A.

How much virtual memory can I use in DJGPP programs?

DJGPP Frequently-Asked Questions List
A : That depends on the DPMI host you are using. CWSDPMI (the free DPMI host which comes with DJGPP) will let you use all available conventional and extended memory (up to 128M) and up to 128M of disk space, for a grand total of 256M of virtual memory for your application. Try a malloc(50*1024*1024) some day. With other DPMI hosts, your mileage may vary.

Do Waba programs use the storage heap for memory?

wabasoft - frequently asked questions
Yes, starting with the Beta 7, the class heap of Waba programs is kept in storage memory. The object heap, native stack and VM stack of a Waba program are kept in dynamic memory. PalmOS doesn't allow you to open a socket until the "main loop" of your application has started. If you open a socket before events start getting processed, PalmOS may reset the device.

Do I need to a lot of memory on my computer?

Nellie Muller English Academy Support and FAQ
No, you don't. The programs and the online classrooms at the Academy are user friendly and don't require much memory.

Does National K9 have any financial aid programs?

National K-9 Learning Center | School For Dog Trainers

You will need to contact financial aid agencies and sources to determine their requirements and restrictions.

Can I use the WinTV-PVR on a dual CPU system?

Hauppauge Computer Works: FAQ for WinTV-PVR-PCI board
The stability of the WinTV operation or hardware functioning correctly may be impaired on dual CPU systems.

What CPU does CD-i use?

The New International CD-i Association
A CD-i player is equiped with a Motorola 68000-like processor, similar to the ones used in the original Apple Macintosh, Atari ST and Commodore Amiga. All Philips CD-i players used a Philips-build 68070, which differs from the 68000 in that way that it had some port controlling features build in. The processor runs at 15 MHz. According to the Green Book, the 68000-CPU should at least have a 16 bit external data path, and a 32 bit internal data path, very similar to Intel's 80386SX processor.
