Title: Very minor update on Memstat2.exe
Post by: hutch-- on February 25, 2023, 04:17:53 PM

First time I had ever run it on 128 gig of memory, the memory size static controls were clipping off the end of the last digit. Added 5 pixels and it displays correctly with big numbers. We will have to wait for later computers displaying greater that 999 gigabytes of memory to need to change it again.  :tongue:

I don't know, it only has a 14 core Xeon in it at the moment and it looks like it has a bit over 120 gig available for memory allocation so I have not tested it yet.  :wink2:

Something I did learn when I first started to use 64 bit was how slow the stuff used back in 32 bit was. Allocate 32 gig and fill it with byte level data and you could grow old watching it. It got faster with SSE4 and even faster with AVX/AVX2 but big memory still takes a long time to process.
