By default, when running in buffered mode, the kernel profiler uses a buffer size of approximately half the available system memory. You can specify a larger or smaller size for this buffer.
To change the size of the buffer for the kernel profiler
In the Config.bib file, in the MEMORY section, specify the size of the buffer as a
dwProfileBufferMaxvariable.The following code example from the MEMORY section of a Config.bib file sets the size of the buffer to 2 MB.
kernel.dll:dwProfileBufferMax 00000000 00200000 FIXUPVARThe maximum value for the
dwProfileBufferMaxvariable is 256 MB. If the specified amount of system memory is not available, the kernel profiler chooses a smaller buffer size.
