RAM Component

Does anyone know if there is a Delphi component that would alow me to
control how much RAM a particular application should use?

Thanks,
Ville.

Hello,

this this a possible code:

procedure Tfinfo.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);

var
MS: TMemoryStatus;
begin
GlobalMemoryStatus(MS);
PhysMem.Caption := FormatFloat('#,###" KB"', MS.dwTotalPhys / 1024);
FreeRes.Caption := Format('%d %%', [MS.dwMemoryLoad]);
end;

You can find more about "GlobalMemoryStatus" in win32.hlp.

Actually, just quickly glancing at the code, I straight away realised you
misunderstood my question. What your code will do is just display the
physical memory and free resources, but what I want to do to be able to
assign a certain amount of memory to a particular application. Basically, I
want to be able to manipulate memory so that one application gets a certain
amount of memory, and other application get less. For example, if a user is
playing a game then they would want to be able to assign enough memory for
the game to play properly.
I hope I can get some help with this.

Thanks,
Ville.

This sounds like an OS-task to me. An application can request memory with
the OS, it will allow or deny this request.

I don't think it is possible.

He could override the default memory manager and write a new one. The new
memory manager would keep track of how much memory each program has
allocated already and would deny the request for memoryy if a certain quota
was met. There would be a performance loss with this, however.

Another way to do it would be to keep track of memory allocations in his
program and simply stop allocating if the limit is reached. That would
complicate the code, however.

Ville Vallo, why do you need this? And what do you need it for?
