$ ulimit -a

-s: stack size (kbytes) 8192
-c: core file size (blocks) 0
-m: resident set size (kbytes) unlimited
-u: processes unlimited
-n: file descriptors 1024
-l: locked-in-memory size (kb) 64
-v: address space (kb) unlimited
-x: file locks unlimited
-i: pending signals 64024
-q: bytes in POSIX msg queues 819200
-e: max nice 0
-r: max rt priority 0

$ free -m

-/+ buffers/cache: 514 7489
Swap: 15625 0 15625


imho the testcase has enough hardware resources.
