Ok guys, After trying all your suggestions, here is the combination that worked best for me (in the order of their impact solving the problem): JVM_FLAGS=-server \ -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode \ -XX:+UseCompressedOops \ -XX:+DoEscapeAnalysis \ -XX:+UseBiasedLocking \

Recommended JVM flags for Clojure

2010-01-07 Thread Gabi
Hello fellow Clojurians, I got lots of java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded exceptions ,and after a short investigation added the following flags (JVM 1.6.0_17): -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode -XX: +CMSIncrementalPacing These flags seems to solve the problem,

First, make sure you have -server. If you can spare more heap, use - Xmx1g . If you're on a 64bit jvm, -XX:+UseCompressedOops adds a significant boost. A flag that helps quite a bit is -XX: +DoEscapeAnalysis . Finally, if you want to play around with the JIT threshold, use -XX:CompileThreshold=n

I use -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC. And don't forget -Xmx, just having a bigger heap can solve some problems. Some people have found it necessary to increase the PermGen size, but usually only for programs that generate a lot of functions dynamically. -SS On Jan 7, 4:20 am, Gabi

Thanks I'll try those flags. I indeed use 64 bits On Jan 7, 6:47 pm, kyle smith the1physic...@gmail.com wrote: First, make sure you have -server. If you can spare more heap, use - Xmx1g . If you're on a 64bit jvm, -XX:+UseCompressedOops adds a significant boost. A flag that helps quite a bit

What I use: -Xincgc : enable incremental garbage collector. Works great when there's more than 1 CPU -Xms4000m -Xmx4000m : set both min and max heap size to the same amount (4 Gb in this case). Prevents dynamic heap resizing, which at high loads may result in unexpected out of memory errors and

Hi Gabi, This may not be useful, but have you tried running the Clojure new branch? Rich implemented fine-grained locals clearing on the new branch, and it helps avoid holding onto unused data accidentally.

Have you tried running with escape analysis on? It might help take some of the burden off the garbage collector. -XX:+DoEscapeAnalysis On Jan 7, 4:20 am, Gabi bugspy...@gmail.com wrote: Hello fellow Clojurians, I got lots of java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded exceptions
