Message-ID: <562@turtlevax.UUCP> Date: Mon, 15-Oct-84 23:51:59 EDT Article-I.D.: turtleva.562 Posted: Mon Oct 15 23:51:59 1984 Date-Received: Wed, 17-Oct-84 08:57:04 EDT Distribution: net Organization: CADLINC, Inc. @ Palo Alto, CA Lines: 12 In our compression kafeeklatsch, we have determined a need for a program which can determine the size of physical memory. This is needed to optimize the speed of the algorithm by allocating as big a table as possible, with minimum liklihood of swapping. Is there any way that this might be done? It looks like there may be some way of doing this with some fancy 4.2 system calls, but I'd like it to be portable. Any ideas will be entertained. -- Ken Turkowski @ CADLINC, Palo Alto, CA UUCP: {amd,decwrl,flairvax,nsc}!turtlevax!ken ARPA: turtlevax!ken@DECWRL.ARPA
