Re: [plexil-support] Memory issue

[Catherine S. <Cat...@ti...>]

Mark answered the Plexil version question in a separate thread, as I do not know myself.

I tried commenting out the Main.ple so about half of the code is used. The memory usage came to about 3.1 GB.

Catherine,

Your application just might be the largest PLEXIL plan yet, in number of nodes, plans, and total lines of PLEXIL.  The previous largest in my recollection had about 600-800 nodes and about a dozen plans in all.  We have not tested the system with an application of your size.

A very important factor is the question Chuck asked: are you using the plexil-3 branch of our Sourceforge repository?  If not, you should, as this has significantly better memory performance.

Could you try halving the plan size, e.g. comment out some of the library declarations and calls, and see how this affects the memory size?  This could help us characterize the memory bloat.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
         There are 32 plans to be loaded directly with Main.ple, though if you include the plans that those 32 plans call, there are 71 plans in total. The total number of nodes for all 72 plx files is 3249. I'm working on getting the total number of lines for the plx files, but for a ballpark, the average plx has about 3000 lines, with a handful of small ones at around 500 lines.
         The memory size increases monotonically as Main.ple is trying to load. This takes about 2 min to load, and about 6 min before the giant while loop in Main.ple iterates quickly. Once Main.ple is up and running, the memory usage stays about the same.

Catherine,

3.5 GB does sound excessive.  Some questions...

Can you provide some quantitative information about the plans: total number of nodes (<Node> elements in the .plx files), total number of lines of the .plx files?

Can you characterize the memory usage?  Does plexilexec occupy 3.5 GB upon loading the Main plan (which effectively loads all the library plans)?  Or after running for a while?  Does memory size increase monotonically?

No suggestions offhand for reducing the memory footprint, but I'll talk about this with others, and  the information above will help.   I don't think the Plexil Viewer or the related startup options are an issue.

Mike

Hello,
                We have a Main plan that will eventually have 32 plans with LibraryAction dependencies. We tried running the plan through the plexilexec with 25 of these dependent plans integrated. The plexilexec is using about 3.5 GB of memory, which seems excessive. We have several more plans to go that will be fairly large, so this is going to be a growing problem. Is there anything we can do to better manage the memory being used by the plexilexec to make the memory use more reasonable?


Thanks,
Catherine
