With amd 64 etch (NUMA 4 dual-opteron, 24 GB RAM, set with shmmax) it was suggested (for heavy calculations) to set 'stack size' to 'unlimited'.At each new boot, I do that with$ ulimit -s unlimited thus changing the stack size from usual 8192 kbytes. If there is no drawback in setting 'stack size' to u'nlimited', how do set that permanently?
If you have access to the source code, you should be able to recompile for a very large stack size, if I recall correctly. You might still have to do the ulimit thing, though. -- Happiness is twin floppies.
