My system has 4Gb of RAM.. my process needs about 3GB of memory..Is there in any way i can increase the memory allocated by the system..So that my process's data may not be frequently swapped in and out.. As of now the process runs very slow... I figure this to be cos of the amount of swapping that would take place..If anyone could help me out, it would be really great.. An additional information about my process is that it uses memory-mapped files, .. files which are mapped to the processes memory.. and thats the only reason my process consumes that much of memory..
