Rana, this would be very useful for us to understand the GC behavior. Thanks for this.
There is a synthesis benchmark GCold that can be also used for this study. We were using it for a while. Thanks, xiaofeng On 10/28/06, Rana Dasgupta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I ran a simple test that allocates and discards a large number of objects repeatedly on multiple threads. These should all be gen zero objects( none survive ) that are repeatedly collected. So the test is of effective allocation rate( I set heap size for all the gc's to 64M and 256 M ). I think the test emulates a web server repeatedly creating and discarding page level objects with each page invocation. This is NOT a perf comparison. gcv5 is just getting created, and comparisons are meaningless. But we can use tests like this to tune. I am attaching the raw test output file. I submitted the test and build mods to JIRA, issue 1993. I am not sure that we have decided where such focussed tuning tests that take too long to be acceptance tests and don't really pass or fail should live. For right now, I created a tests directory under gc_gen. Thanks, Rana
