PAE support for window exe.s running using wine

Post by yugandhar »

Hi,

My windows appication(32 bit) require PAE to be enabled when running on winddows 2003 server as it uses physical memory of more than 4 GB.
Am running the same application using wine in enterprise linux.
Linux where wine is installed supports PAE.
But I observe the memory is not getting used as required and the application is too slow.
Whether any option or configuration is required in wine to get this application make use of PAE support?

Thanks,
Yug

What application is this?

How does the app get access to the memory?
Is it linked with /LARGEADDRESSAWARE as described here
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/pl ... AEmem.mspx
or does it make use of special APIs like AllocateUserPhysicalPages
(part of AWE) as described here
