IDL & Memory Usage... [message #31920]

Hi all,

Does anyone know how IDL 5.5a breaks up into smaller processes under
Linux? When I run top on my machine I see:

------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------
2:37pm up 12 days, 4:41, 10 users, load average: 0.16, 0.12, 0.09
85 processes: 84 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU0 states: 0.0% user, 2.2% system, 0.0% nice, 97.2% idle
CPU1 states: 0.0% user, 0.0% system, 0.0% nice, 100.0% idle
Mem: 3089264K av, 2238680K used, 850584K free, 196K shrd, 200332K buff
Swap: 6289320K av, 49024K used, 6240296K free 939340K cached

PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
579 rhs 8 0 828M 828M 3912 S 0.0 27.4 74:11 idl
583 rhs 9 0 828M 828M 3912 S 0.0 27.4 0:00 idl
584 rhs 9 0 828M 828M 3912 S 0.0 27.4 15:46 idl
585 rhs 9 0 828M 828M 3912 S 0.0 27.4 0:00 idl
------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------

I only have one IDL session running, but 4 separate processes appear. It
also appears that each is consuming 828MB of RAM. Is this an attempt to
get around the 2.1GB address limit for 32-bit machines? I'll admit this
is a relatively large calculation but IDL cannot *REALLY* be taking 110%
of my memory resources ;)

Cheers,
Randall
