AnswerSoft introduces MemPlus(TM) software to manage memory constraints.PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 25, 1995--Today's computer users must be able to run multiple applications simultaneously to complete business transactions. Unfortunately, computer memory constraints CONSTRAINTS - A language for solving constraints using value inference. ["CONSTRAINTS: A Language for Expressing Almost-Hierarchical Descriptions", G.J. Sussman et al, Artif Intell 14(1):1-39 (Aug 1980)]. are causing a serious bottleneck A lessening of throughput. It often refers to networks that are overloaded, which is caused by the inability of the hardware and transmission lines to support the traffic. It can also refer to a mismatch inside the computer where slower-speed peripheral buses and devices prevent the CPU . Windows(R) users are particularly familiar with the insufficient memory problems as they attempt to launch multiple programs. To address this growing problem, AnswerSoft, Inc. Monday introduced MemPlus(TM) 2.0, another product in its line of enterprisewide business process automation (BPA BPA British Paediatric Association. ) software. AnswerSoft's MemPlus is a memory management and application launch program that allows Windows users to run a greater number of applications simultaneously. "Simply adding more memory does not mean the memory will be used most efficiently," said Jeanne Bayless, president and chief executive officer of AnswerSoft. "We wanted to develop a product that does more than just create space for the growing number of applications; we wanted one that could manage the available memory better." Low DOS memory is the first 1 megabyte One million bytes, or more precisely 1,048,576 bytes. Also MB, Mbyte and M-byte. See mega and space/time. (unit) megabyte - (MB, colloquially "meg") 2^20 = 1,048,576 bytes = 1024 kilobytes. 1024 megabytes are one gigabyte. of memory allocated by Windows, which has no memory manager to designate des·ig·nate tr.v. des·ig·nat·ed, des·ig·nat·ing, des·ig·nates 1. To indicate or specify; point out. 2. To give a name or title to; characterize. 3. which applications use low memory or how they use it. Once all the low memory is allocated, launching additional applications results in the users receiving the insufficient memory message from Windows. Until an application running is shut down, no other applications can be launched. MemPlus resolves this situation by providing memory management benefits to Windows users. Beneficiaries include Windows users who need to run multiple applications simultaneously; mobile office users; network application users requiring numerous network drivers and dynamic load libraries; and application developers working in environments such as Windows and Btrieve that need to eliminate excess memory requirements for applications being developed.
