Physical Memory

Parameters in this group configure your machine's physical memory resources.

[Physical Memory]
	max memory = 2000000
	additional network memory = DEFAULT
	shared memory starting address = DEFAULT
	allocate max shared memory = DEFAULT
	dynamic allocation on demand = DEFAULT
	lock shared memory = 1
	heap memory per user = DEFAULT

max memory = 2000000 The value of this option is the maximum amount of total physical memory (in 2K pages) that ASE can use and is platform dependent. Set this value high, even though the server may not use all of this memory.

lock shared memory = 1 Setting this option to 1 locks memory, so that ASE does not swap pages to disk. This reduces disk reads, which are expensive. This parameter is platform dependent and works only on platforms that support locking shared memory.
