RE: [OT] How much RAM can java use
I asked this same question Cameron Purdy, CEO of Tangosol (maker of a leading Java cache product) this question during the TheServerSide this year. His business is all about optimal use of the allocated heap space, and that His recommendation was to use up to 512 MB of heap space to minimize more severe garbage collection pauses. I think that this article Java 5.0 JVM tuning http://java.sun.com/docs/hotspot/gc5.0/gc_tuning_5.html can help you answer what is the optimal use.

RE: [OT] How much RAM can java use
Hi, This will depend on which architecture of machine you are using. You will need both a 64 bit machine and a 64bit JVM to use that much memory. We use 12GB here with no problems on 64 bit solaris.

It seems to me, that the VM don't use more than 1.2 GB RAM even I gave it more (with mx/ms settings). We are planning to go to 16GB RAM machines to have a better caching, but I started to doubt that I can use 16GB Ram in a single JVM.

From: Leon Rosenberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [OT] How much RAM can java use Does anyone know for sure how much RAM I can use with JAVA 1.4 or 1.5? The answer is very platform specific. For example, on a normal 32-bit Windows system, each process has a maximum of 2 GB to play with, but some of that is taken up by various .dlls. (And unfortunately, these are scattered throughout the range, and the Sun JVM insists on having contiguous space for the heap.) There is a boot option for some versions of Windows Server that changes the process virtual space to 3 GB, at the expense of some kernel capacity. I've seen 64-bit Sparc systems with Java heaps sized at hundreds of megabytes... - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

RE: [OT] How much RAM can java use
On the 32 bit system you definitely won't get more the 2G without some kernel hacking and you may well see even less than that. On the 64 with a 64 bit JVM you should be able to use however much you like obviously leaving some space for the OS to run in. -Original Message- From: Leon Rosenberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06 October 2005 17:16 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: [OT] How much RAM can java use On 10/6/05, Caldarale, Charles R [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Leon Rosenberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [OT] How much RAM can java use Does anyone know for sure how much RAM I can use with JAVA 1.4 or 1.5?

Oops, I meant hundreds of _gigabytes_ (just a slight miscalculation :-). With the 32-bit Sun JVM, you're not going to get much more than 1.2 GB you're at now, primarily due to the contiguous heap requirement and the use of signed 32-bit integers within the HotSpot heap manager. To take advantage of the 64-bit platforms, you'll need to install a true 64-bit JVM, which is a separate download from the normal JRE/JDK. With that, you should be able to use pretty much all of the RAM, minus the system overhead. The key issue is insuring that the 64-bit Debian provides a decent amount of virtual space for each process. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
