Is it possible it's running out of stack memory, as opposed to heap? I've had that problem before when I was parsing response HTML for certain things, there's a lot of recursive calls in the parsing of HTML sometimes, and for one particular test, I was running out of stack memory. The 4 processor machine may have been able to fill up the stack faster than the other machines...
The stack is normally 1MB, I think. You can increase it similarly to the way you increased the heap size to 512 (read the java documentation - I haven't got it memorized). -Mike On 21 Jan 2003 at 15:35, Lawrence, Steve wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm seeing some very strange behaviour when running Jmeter in 'distributed > mode'. > I've successfully gotten my client / server set up, running on Windows 2k. > (Still can't get it working under Linux, but that's another story). > > I've recorded a very small script which hits a couple of urls on my > webserver.
