同时运行HAXM AVD仿真器限制

Question

To elaborate on the title, I'm running many simultaneous AVD's for my automated build/test processes (think concurrent builds for a project, or multiple projects building at once). Most problems that people have with running multiple HAXM accelerated AVD's at once is memory related. THIS IS NOT MY PROBLEM (I think). I have a pretty beefy i7 machine with 32gb of ram. When installing HAXM, I allocated 28gb (sorry, I can't post more pictures without more rep).

Here is my AVD configuration(s). Observe, only 1024mb of memory allocated per emulator:

I can run 8 emulators at once, I would post an image if I could. I'm only using ~16gb of my 32gb of ram when they're all running. (2048mb per emulator at this moment in time). No matter what I do, I cannot run more than 8 emulators. I can run 8 emulators with 1gb, 2gb, or 3gb memory allocated per device simultaneously. I've tried 32bit vs 64bit intel images. There is clearly a limit beyond that of memory that is enforcing this.

The error message I get when starting my 9th emulator (Note, I started counting emulators at 0):

9th emulator boot error

"Failed to create HAX VM. No accelerator found."

The only thing I could think of where the number 8 might be coming from would be the fact I have 4 cores == 8 logical processors. That's a wild guess though. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

It is due to a hardcoded variable in the HAXM. You can solve this problem by downloading the latest HAXM from the Github page , which will set an limit of 64 guests instead of 8.

Answer 2

Type this in the command line:

sc stop intelhaxm

then:

sc start intelhaxm

And then your emulator should work.
