#14492: Tiered memory allocation restricts available memory -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: unode | Owner: bgamari Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.6.1 Component: Runtime System | Version: 8.0.2 Resolution: | Keywords: memory ulimit Operating System: Linux | Architecture: x86_64 Type of failure: Poor/confusing | (amd64) error message | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Phab:D4215 Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by luispedro): Just to ping everyone on this. We are still having to over allocate memory on our servers to work around this bug, while the simple 1-liner above (`*len -= *len/8`) would get us a 90% solution. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14492#comment:11 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
