Process Memory Limitation & IIS

We have distributed application built upon .NET 2.0. The business components
are exposed as Web Services. Some of the Business Components involves in
heavy processing and occupies more RAM. It appears there is a memory
limitation of 4 GB per process and we are not sure if we have to further
distribute the heavy processing components in to separate process/application
domain. We use II6 6.0 and Windows 2003 to hosts all Web services. Currently
all Web Services are part of single Application Domain.

To over come the 4GB limitation, we are planning to isolate the heave
processing components out of process using the below options.

1.Isolate the heavy processing components which use more memory using .NET
remoting (The application server will invoke these components using .NET
remoting). This way, we have a dedicated process established for heavy
processing components.
2.Create a new Web site to host heavy processing components. They will be
exposed as Web services similar to application server components. The
application server will make use the new web service so that the processing
happens in a different application domain. We are really not sure whether
this approach addresses the 4GB limitation per process. Otherwise we will
have to go for #1

Please note all the above should work within single application server. The
hardware typically contains multiple processors and can accommodate more
memory (8 GB). Any inputs on the above would be really helpful. We will have
to pickup the right solution from the above options.

We are still researching IIS 6.0 architecture to make sure item #2 above is
feasible in this context.

Thanks,
Rasheed

Is this 64bit ?

Can someone point me at a tutorial or other reference on how VB 5 &/or 6 consumes memory and what its limits are? I have a program in VB5 that has been around a while and grown quite a bit. I am starting to run into compile-time errors like "Too many local dynamic variables" I fixed that one by re-declaring some variables as Static but I'm shooting in the dark. Where can I find the various ways VB consumes memory, and what limits it...

Hi, My production machine has 2G of memory, when aspnet_wp.exe goes up to about ~1.2G of memory usage, I start get out-of-memory exception. Other processes don't use as much memory and I added all the peak memory usage of all the processes (including aspnet_wp.exe), it goes up to no more than 1.5. How is that possible? Would anyone know please help? thanks!

We're looking at running a memory-intensive process for a web site as a Windows service in isolation of IIS because IIS refuses to consume all of the available physical RAM. Considering remoting to move data in and out of this process. Need something that's quick and dirty and easy to implement, but that's performant and secure at the same time. Any suggestions / tutorials? Would prefer not to go on the TCP/IP stack (socket) as it is not...

Hi, Overview ======= I'm doing some simple file manipulation work and the process gets "Killed" everytime I run it. No traceback, no segfault... just the word "Killed" in the bash shell and the process ends.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
