[etherlab-users] Memory for kernel module

[Westpfahl Jasper]

Hello Wilhelm,

no, I don't use any large matrices as parameters. However SimMechanics will probably need to generate large matrices to calculate.

some other things I've tried with the model is to put <hide> behind all SimMechanics blocks and set the process image decimation rate to 1000 with fundamental sample time at 1/1000 using 120000 for stack size, which is about the maximum I can get without getting the error mentioned in the previous mail.

Also I used top to monitor CPU usage which sometimes showed 100% usage (for one core) and sometimes was below 10% for the exact same module just at a different time. In both cases however the Ethercat connector blocks don't switch to OP and the testmanager says ExecTime value=0, Period value=0.

the ouput from /var/log/messages contains an unusual line directly after 'Successfully registered...':

Jan 19 15:59:14 MPT43 kernel: Application tid 0 running at 1000000ns
Jan 19 15:59:14 MPT43 kernel: Successfully registered application "Test2" with RT-AppCore.
Jan 19 15:59:14 MPT43 kernel: Default Trap Handler: vector 6: Suspend RT task f40ca980

it is also the last line after the insmod command. I googled that without success.

Gross simplifications to the model make it work but also completely unpractical.

best regards,
Jasper

Hello Jasper,

please tell a bit more about your model. Do you use large matrices as
parameter (This is usually the problem)?

Regards Wilhelm.
