Hello,
during the execution of my self-developed application (C++/OpenGL 3D terrain visualization, embedded, current Ubuntu kernel, PowerVR SGX) I observe the following inexplicable behavior: the viewer spins around -> the application hangs frequently (the rotation speed has no effect) - the application hangs on an OpenGL call (glDrawElements() of a triangle strip with texture coordinates) - interesting and for me inexplicable is the output of the used/allocated memory - "top": VIRT (~215m) and RES (~190m) are nearly constant during the execution time (vary by ~ 5m), but the SHR-memory increases during the execution from ~40m to ~120m, the application runs until a SHR-memory of ~120m (run time: ~5 seconds) -> the application hangs (hang time: ~2 seconds), subsequently the SHR-memory is decreased to ~40m and the applications runs again until the next hang (SHR-memory ~40m) and so on. During the described execution time no new data is loaded, all data is already cached.
What is the reason for the app-hang? Why is allocated SHR memory increased/decreased continuously - there is enough free memory available during the entire execution time? What can I do - so that the application is running without the described hangs?
Thanks for your advice and help
Markus
