Topic: Bitcoin memory usage - page 2. (Read 7774 times)
It's been stable between 600m-1g for a while now after it caught up with the blockchain. I guess it has a tendency to use a lot of memory downloading block after being outdated.
running 0.8.1 bitcoind on x64 linux, the mem climbs to 1.5g within 20 minutes. I'm restarting it 2-3 times a day. Once it gets so big like 2.2G, it's really difficult to shutdown the deamon gracefully. Are there some parameters that I should try to mitigate the problem ?
(tried the 0.8.2 a couple days ago noticing that the mem usage was still significant like gig+, and it halted on getaddress command, guess it's a bug or something, so I switched back.)
Do you have a massive wallet/huge number of transactions? My node has 47 connections (I sometimes get up to a few hundred) and memory usage on 0.8.2 doesnt go above 500m. (tried the 0.8.2 a couple days ago noticing that the mem usage was still significant like gig+, and it halted on getaddress command, guess it's a bug or something, so I switched back.)

Note that I used the bootstrap.dat from torrent to get started and having more than 20 connections.

There were a few changes about a month ago (that will be in 0.8.2) that hugely decrease memory consumption with a lot of connections. You might try building git master (obviously not supported and dont do it with a lot of coins/as a merchant/miner/etc) and running that, or just wait.
So is there anything (besides digging in the source) to limit this on linux?

900mb usage , 40 connections after 24h
0.8.1 on Ubuntu 12.04
Yeah, there is definitely some kind of memory leak, although it's very small. But a lot of people run the client 24/7, so it builds up.
Guess it's not only me then.
What i noticed was that it is lower when you haven't downloaded the blockchain (it starts out at about 20-30mb i believe, rising with about 1-2mb/minute (was getting the blockchain at about 600kbps i believe).
After the blockchain is completely downloaded the memory usage doesn't rise very much, maybe a 2-5 mb/h, not really sure
Since i wrote my old post it's risen from 80 to 98mb though. (7 hours)

bitcoind is running 24/7 on my debian server, and its memory usage seems to be ever increasing as time goes on:
Thats half a gigabyte...

Thats half a gigabyte...
Yup, for me the client(GUI) always uses 100+ megabytes of RAM....
Win 7 64bit & fedora 12 32bit
Memory usage seems to have went down @Win7 machine now though (to 80mb, might be because of i newly booted?), only running bitcoind on fedora and it uses as much memory as bitcoin(with GUI) on Win7. Not really sure if this is a huge problem though, maybe some other people could check their current usage and uptime on the client?
Would be nice to see lower mem usage on bitcoind but i guess it shouldn't be that high priority anyway, 140mb isn't too much and there is probaly better things to use energy on fixing for now.

bitcoin/bitcoind uses almost 150mb RAM and the memory usage rises every day.
Any way to lower the usage or am i just doing something wrong? Guessing it has something to do with latest block being stored in memory or something, is there a way to prevent this?
Thanks, Daniel.

What OS are you running?
What version of bitcoin/bitcoind are you running?
Try upgrading both to the latest versions first and report back. The Bitcoin client is still in beta/testing mode, remember. We still have a long way to go before a "1.0 final" release.
