i'm running a semi-intensive jitter patch for an installation - it taxes both the gpu and cpu a bit. it runs alright, but it seems to inevitably crash after being run for a few hours due to the strain.

do people have tactics for dealing with this?

is there any way to "clear" the cpu/gpu at certain intervals with max? or is it just a matter of programming occasional "rests" into the patch?

Have you looked at your system monitor? Any signs of a memory leak (ie. Max's memory allocation steadily increasing)?

Memory allocation seems pretty stable, after watching for about 30 minutes.

Also , have you tried running Max7 in 64 bit mode ?

Are you using [jit.movie @output_texture 1 @colormode uyvy @engine avf @automatic 1] 

When wokring n a project a few months ago, I had problems that seemed to resemble memory leak,

All wen't away when I switch to 64 bit mode.

Also it was a very very large patch and so using many instance of max in standalone and transfering

Have you tried downloading
Opengl Driver Monitor ? 

Also , have you tried running Max7 in 64 bit mode ?
Open in Low resolution? 

If with mac ,

texture over syphon was the solution. 

I'm using 7 in 32-bit mode, on a Mac.. Is there a way to change to 32-bit mode internally or do I just need to download the other software?

I am not using jit.movie, the CPU hogging is coming from the jit.bfg, most likely - the GPU side involves scrolling through multiple jit.gl.models .

Have not tried the OpenGL Driver Monitor yet, I will take a look at it.

cmd click on your app icon or go to it in your applications / ctrl click on you app icon / select get info /

uncheck the "open in 32bit mode" / close Max and reopen
