freeing ram (aka ram defragmentation)?

[NoahPhense]

this one looks nice =)

at least it works, ur right, its not the fastest solution, but
- one can try to make it better
- its way not as slow as i expected after reading ur post ;P

many thx

Ok, I've had a few more minutes to tool with it..

Quite fast now.. and on the fly. Sorry for the elongated post. But it had to be that way.

why not replace readdata with lset() ?

Yeah, that's a great idea.. I'm still learning the language.. I think this is like my 14th post..

Thanks for the tipage!!

Code: Select all

DefType.s Data1
;- CREATE 1K
Data1 = LSet("", 1000, "a")

NewList Memory.s()

;- CREATE 64K
For x = 1 To 6
    Data1 = Data1 + Data1:; CREATING 64K
Next x

;- RUN CONSOLE
If OpenConsole()
    ConsoleTitle("Memory Loss v1.0")
    Print("megs: ")
    megs.s = Input()
    megsNumber.w = Val(megs)
    PrintN("")
    If megsNumber = 0
        Goto GetOut
    EndIf

    ;- CREATE 1024K
    For x = 1 To megsNumber*16:; 64K X 16 = 1024000
        AddElement(Memory())
            Memory() = Data1
    Next x

    PrintN("done..")

    Repeat
    Until Inkey()<>""
    GetOut:
    CloseConsole()
EndIf

ClearList(Memory())
End

hehe, imho we all do... forever ;P
great... had allready a faster mod of urs (but not as accurate as urs)...
well, this one looks even faster =)

Kewl, glad it works for ya.. It's a pretty good core start. If I was building it, from there, I would probably get how much physical memory is on the EU's (enduser) machine. I'm sure there is a simple API for that.

Then I would probably allow the user to set where he/she would like the mem-recovery to take place. Look back at the screen shots, to see the different features, like Target Free Ram.. that's when its doing a scrub, where it should stop. Because if you try to recover all physical memory, it will work, BUT, you will have really slowed down the box for a while.. because you've crapped everything that was running into the swap file.

i.e. - When the memory hits 80mb's, run defrag.

I'm just basing those ideas off of my currrent memory program, as they are pretty nice.

- AutoRecovery Level
- a button to manually kick off the defrag

There are many features, you just have to be creative. To me, thats the fun part about programming. The creation process.

think such feature loaded ram defrager are enough out there...
so here what i do:

a "screen saver" which will free up ram and set the disk cache very
high, and reduces cache/frees ram again when system is in use again =)
