You have a practical limit of around 2 gb per instance any more and you can overload the jvm.. What more memory will do is allow you to max out each instance and let the os use the rest.. but that's not the whole story..you'll still need to investigate the jvm garbage collection..plus tweaking settings in the cf admin itself for each instance On Jul 5, 2011 5:32 PM, "Richard Steele" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Russ, It's 64 bit windows. Load balancing is between instances (only one physical server). It's a Xeon L5410 Process which I believe is 4 cores. Each instance has CF8 Admin set for a max of 10 requests. We definitely want to add another pair of instances for a new website we are finishing up. Currently we have one pair of instances reporting low memory availability (used memory reports around 460mb used (allocated 500mb) in Fusion Reactor Enterprise dashboard). > > So to recap, there is currently 8 gb of memory on the server. We have two pairs of instances for two different websites each with around 500mb of memory allocated. We want to add a third pair for a new website under development. One of the two pairs almost always reports memory close to being exhausted. On the other pair we occasionally have a hosted website go viral and the instances hang as they can't handle all of the requests. > > Right now, we can only afford to add memory (not clustered servers).
