Be sure that your system has sufficient memory to support a large number of processes.
Approximately 256 K physical memory per process is recommended for this experiment.

Thus, 4 GB
is required for the test program, in addition to that needed for other system activity and the
application to be validated.

The memory requirement on a per-process basis varies with the specific demands of the applications executed by those
processes. The per-process memory required for this experiment should not be considered a general rule.
