[Valgrind-users] valgrind out of memory error

[Zhu, Y. <Yan...@vi...>]

Has anyone seen this error when running valgrind 3.10.1 in a MIPS64 platform?

==1769==     Valgrind's memory management: out of memory:
==1769==        newSuperblock's request for 4194304 bytes failed.
==1769==        22536192 bytes have already been allocated.
==1769==     Valgrind cannot continue.  Sorry.

I have enough memory in my system as shown below:

I really appreciate if I can get some help.
