Edit Question
Title
Body
I am writing an algorithm to perform some external memory computations, i.e. where your input data does not fit into main memory and you have to consider the I/O complexity. Since for my tests I do not always want to use real inputs I want to limit the amount of memory available to my process. What I have found is, that I can set the mem kernel parameter to limit the physically used memory of all processes (is that correct?) Is there a way to do the same, but with a per process limit . I have seen ulimit , but it only limits the virtual memory per process. Any ideas (maybe I can even set it programmatically from within my C++ code)?
