975.0. "Help! DECwindows Demo needed" by GIAMEM::NAPOLITANO () Mon Jun 19 1989 15:36

Hi,
    
    I'm looking for a DECwindows demo that will use up alot of memory when
    it runs.  It is for testing purposes.  Can anybody help me?
    
    
    Thank you!

Some people believe that >ALL< decwindows programs use up a lot
of memory when they run....

975.2Do it via TPUEVETPU::REINIGThis too shall changeMon Jun 19 1989 16:2842
!    Extract this note to a file.  Bring up DECWindows TPU with this as
!    your file.  Extend *, then DO TPU try_to_exhaust_memory.

procedure try_to_exhaust_memory

local   buf1,
	buf2,
	temp;

on_error
    message (error_line);
    return;
endon_error;

buf1 := create_buffer ("1");
buf2 := create_buffer ("2");

position (buf1);
copy_text ("Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party.");

loop
    show (buf1);
    message (create_range (beginning_of (show_buffer),
			  end_of (show_buffer),
			  NONE));

    position (buf2);
    copy_text (buf1);
    copy_text (buf1);
    erase (buf1);

975.3Known BugJHEREG::TANNENBAUMex-TPU DeveloperTue Jun 20 1989 18:095
Note that TPU will probably die a grisly and violent death when it runs out of
memory.  This is a known bug which is being worked on as we type.

975.4Live video filmKASINO::TALLETTJust one more bug to fix...Wed Jun 21 1989 06:3513
    
    	If you want a program that does something USEFUL with all that
    	memory you could try "film" which simulates live video on a
    	standard DECwindows workstation.
    
    	See note 186 in ELKTRA::DW_EXAMPLES

975.5ThanksGIAMEM::NAPOLITANOWed Jun 21 1989 12:096
    Thank you all for your help.  All I needed to do was get DECwindows
    to exhaust the memory of VS2000, and that was sucessfully done.
