DeadlineCommand problem

Deadline
1

Hi guys, I’m trying to capture the memory usage of Maya using the DeadlineCommand.exe



It appears to be a problem when I try to capture the memory usage of Maya 64bit on a windows XP 64bit machine.



I have done a snapshot showing the task manager and the result of my command. You can see that deadline command returns -215MB instead of 3900MB.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that Deadline is a 32

bit app and it’s querying data from a 64 bit app? Try querying a 32 bit

process and see if the data is accurate. I was reading the docs and the

command that Deadline uses in .NET 1.1 to get that info is obsolete in

.NET 2.0, so it’s likely that when we move Deadline to .NET 2.0, the

problem will fix itself.



Cheers,

Yes querying a 32 bit Maya on windows 32 bit returns the correct value.



will you move on dotNet 2.0 in version 2.7 or it will be later?

It will be later - we hope to do this at the same time we’re porting

Deadline to mono to run on linux and os x.
