Lightweight Java Gaming Library / Re: Buffer is not freed - OutO...

Last post by fireinwinterfell - May 10, 2024, 14:29:08

The log shows that the JVM itself is trying to allocate some memory and fails. Are you maybe running too many programs and the system as a whole runs OOM?

In any case, this doesn't look like an issue with LWJGL.

Not really many programs, just a few like intellij and a web browser. But yes, the whole system get frozen. It ate up all mermory.

Here I found a chunk with exceptions in the log file, but currently I do not know how to render it:

Btw, do you mean a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError or a process-OOM error followed by a JVM crash?

Now I got the log (first chunk):

#
# There is insufficient memory for the Java Runtime Environment to continue.
# Native memory allocation (malloc) failed to allocate 1048576 bytes. Error detail: AllocateHeap
# Possible reasons:
#   The system is out of physical RAM or swap space
#   This process is running with CompressedOops enabled, and the Java Heap may be blocking the growth of the native heap
# Possible solutions:
#   Reduce memory load on the system
#   Increase physical memory or swap space
#   Check if swap backing store is full
#   Decrease Java heap size (-Xmx/-Xms)
#   Decrease number of Java threads
#   Decrease Java thread stack sizes (-Xss)
#   Set larger code cache with -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=
#   JVM is running with Unscaled Compressed Oops mode in which the Java heap is

Sounds like there's no problem with the buffer alloc/free then, the memory is consumed elsewhere. Probably in the OpenGL driver, which copies (and holds on to) the data passed to glBufferData.

usually hits error "OutOfMemory"

Btw, do you mean a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError or a process-OOM error followed by a JVM crash?

Hi spasi
Thanks for your ideas.

- Run the code as is, but do not call glBufferData.

->
Without glBufferData, memory consumption showing in Windows TaskManager is about X2 instead of X5-X10.I left indices, texture as is (still call glBufferData).

- Replace the temporary FloatBuffer with a single, fixed buffer that is being reused between calls.

->Memory consumption is a about 20 % lower (fixed FloatBuffer is 1024).

Thank God, you are in !!
I will try everyone of your ideas.

How many times do you call storeDataInAttributeList and with how much data?

thousands -> a few hundred thousand, a few 2d vertices (lines) to  about a few hundred (polylines).

Hey fireinwinterfell,

The code above looks fine. The memory allocated in storeDataInFloatBuffer will always be freed by memFree. You could to isolate what exactly causes the apparent increase in memory usage, two ideas:

- Run the code as is, but do not call glBufferData.
- Replace the temporary FloatBuffer with a single, fixed buffer that is being reused between calls.

How many times do you call storeDataInAttributeList and with how much data?

Someone please help!
The heap showing in Visualvm is just fine but the Windows TaskManager shows that it consumes a lot.
If I use glVertex2f() to set vertex by vertex at rendering time it is just fine (200mb for my program) but when using buffers, it consumes about more than 2GB.

I knew that data goes off-heap but could you give me some hints to explicitly, effectively free it once it has been loaded GPU? I seem to be failed with MemoryUtil.memfree() and MemoryStack, too. Is it possibly a problem with machine with an integrated intel GPU?

Hi,
I am sorry if question is too naive, I am learning Opengl and lwjgl as well. When I try to load data using Buffer, the memory consumption is crazy too much it usually hits error "OutOfMemory". What is wrong with my code here:

private  void storeDataInAttributeList(int attributeNum, int size, float[] vertices) {
        int vboId = glGenBuffers();
        vbos.add(vboId);
        glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vboId);

        FloatBuffer vertexBuffer = storeDataInFloatBuffer(vertices);
        glBufferData(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, vertexBuffer, GL_STATIC_DRAW);
        MemoryUtil.memFree(vertexBuffer);

        GL30.glVertexAttribPointer(attributeNum, size, GL_FLOAT, false, 0, 0);
        glBindBuffer(GL_ARRAY_BUFFER, 0);


    }

    private FloatBuffer storeDataInFloatBuffer(float[] vertices) {
        FloatBuffer vertexBuffer =  MemoryUtil.memAllocFloat(vertices.length);
        vertexBuffer.put(vertices).flip();
        return vertexBuffer;
    }

The March release of Area Zero (v0.10.0) is now available for download: https://ephemeraltechnicalarts.com/area-zero

Release Notes:
0.10.0 (3/19/2024)
  1. Adjustments made to all characters after 03/12 competitive bracket (v0.9.6)
     including frame data and hit/hurt/collision boxes.
    a. Niven's "Respecatable Lariat" is now fully vunerable, but hurt boxes are recessed.
    b. Niven's super no longer hits off the ground and only hits mid and high.
    c. Victor's "Gore" attack is no longer fully invulnerable on start up. Can now be hit low.
    d. B.P.V.'s "Frustrated Fists" start up increased.
    e. B.P.V.'s meter gain rate reduced to 90% (where it should have been).
    f. B.P.V.'s super damage reduced to 510 (down from 580).
    g. Violet's super projectile now has wider hit box.
    h. Richard's super whiff animation has longer duration.
  2. All hit pause durations increased by one frame.
  3. Any special attack can now be canceled into a super attack. Results vary, but more options available.
  4. In the case of a trade, the hit pause duration is now the maximum of the two trading attacks.

0.9.6 (03/10/2024)
  1. Add recovery to BPV's Ill Wheel Kick to prevent infinite.
  2. Fix typos in tutorials.
  3. Restore OTG for Richards regular Curb Stomp.
 
0.9.5 (03/07/2024)
  1. All of Niven's animations are color mapped.
  2. Round structure implemented.
  3. Taunt reworked to give each character unique bonuses. Bonuses listed in move lists.
  4. Improvements to audio code.
  5. Red/blue meter gain systems revised.
  6. Iteration on all character's moves and frame data.
  7. Iteration on run/dash velocities.
  8. Updated tutorials.
