Charm++ parallel programming system

["Padoin, Edson Luiz" <elpadoin AT inf.ufrgs.br>]

Greetings,

We are starting the port of Charm++ on ARM-based platform. 

We are using a Exynos 5 MPSoC with ARMv7 ISA 32bits, 2GB of RAM memory and "Linux exynos 3.10.0-1-linaro-arndale" operating system. 

The Exynos is used in the Mont-Blanc project.

The Linux kernel and daemons use only 120KB of the memory.

$free

                 Total    used        free  shared buffers   cached

Mem:    2047268 120512 1926756         0    8556    71208

-/+ buffers/cache:      40164    2007104

Swap:            0          0          0

We installed Charm++ 6.05.01 with "net-linux-arm7 --with-production --enable-tracing" options without errors. 

However, when we perform a program, have the following error/warning message:

[0] isomalloc.c> Disabling isomalloc because the free virtual address space

I) Warning performing charm:

How can we continue the port and the evaluation?

Would you let me know how to resolve this problem

Thank you very much.
