"RapidMiner Studio 6 Memory Question"

cristiano

Hi all,
I'm just trying RM Studio 6.0 Professional in TRIAL mode: how I can reach 8GB of main memory usage during a process? I mean, with RM5.3 I see just 1GB of ram usage during a process, while I guess to see more than 1GB ram usage if I run the same process with the Professional edition.
Please tell me if I need some java parameters to set, or any other help woulb be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

you can have a look at the system monitor. To enable it, click on "View" in the top menu bar, then "Show View" -> "System Monitor". You will then see how much memory RM Studio will use.
If you are running the 64-bit version and have enough main memory (more than 8 GB), it should display "Will use up to 8.0 GB".
If you are having less main memory it obviously will use less. If you are running the 32-bit version, RM cannot use more than 1,2 GB at all because the OS needs nearly half of all the available memory and Java needs a bit for itself as well.

Regards,
Marco

Thanks Marco for your reply.
I see now the memory usage in the System Monitor, and I have a 64bit with 16GB RAM: on RM5.3 I see Max12GB and in RM6 Studio I see 'up to 8GB' in the monitor. Seems that the community version has more RAM available than Studio version? mmh...not sure...

thanks in advance

Hi,

the old 5.3 open source version is unlimited, the new major version 6 switched to closed source and is limited depending on the used license until RM Studio 7 is released in the future. See here: http://rapid-i.com/rapidforum/index.php/topic,7405.0.html
