How to Maximize Memory usage for JDK 6 on Solaris 10.

Hi there,
I deployed jdk 6 & Tomcat 6 running on Solaris 10 with 8GB of RAM Sun Fire x64 x4100 M2 m/c.
Its relatively fast. However, the java could allowed me to set the Max Java OPT to only 3GB. I don't understand and there isn't any extra applications. All are prior Solaris 10.
Java will not be able to start if I set more than -J-Xmx3072m.
Appreciate your advise and expertise.
regards,
jose(airqq)

Hello Neville:
I seem to be coming off as negative - not my usual approach. However.......
I am a retired webmaster and don't have Lion but I am impressed by your tip. Well written and researched. I think we should all do our bit to educate and encourage others to open applications and use the Terminal.
a different point of view from someone who has been posting in these forums for many years.
Almost all of the people who seek help here are not:
1. Retired webmasters.
2. Know anything about the arcane terminal commands and, more importantly, how much damage they can cause their system by a missing space or character. Apple has spent a lot of time to develop OS X to a point where people do not need to learn about or understand Unix-like command language.
I salute people who are technical enough to use terminal commands. It is, however, IMHO, a real disservice to suggest to non-tecchie people that it is ever necessary (or desirable) to operate at that level.
Having said all that, I respect your comment and point of view. I would reiterate, however, that solving non-existent problems is a waste of time. By non-existent, I mean that if there are no performance problems, it is irrelevant how much memory a program uses. My current base-level iMac has 4 GB of memory and a Terabyte of HD space.

How to specify maximum memory usage for Java VM in Tomcat?

Does any one know how to setup memory usage for Java VM, such as "-Xmx256m" parameter, in Tomcat?
I'm using Tomcat 3.x in Apache web server on Sun Solaris platform. I already tried to add the following line into tomcat.properties, like:
wrapper.bin.parameters=-Xmx512m
However, it seems to me that this doesn't work. So, how about if my servlet will consume a large amount of memory that exceeds the default 64M memory boundary of Java VM?
Any idea will be appreciated.

With some help we found the fix. You have to set the -Xms and -Xmx at installation time when you install Tomcat 4.x as a service. Services do not read system variables. Go to the command prompt in windows, and in the directory where tomcat.exe resides, type "tomcat.exe /?". You will see jvm_options as part of the installation. Put the -Xms and -Xmx variables in the proper place during the install and it will work.
If you can't uninstall and reinstall, you can apply this registry hack that dfortae sent to me on another thread.
=-=-=-=-=-=
You can change the parameters in the Windows registry. If your service name is "Apache Tomcat" The location is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Apache Tomcat\Parameters
Change the JVM Option Count value to the new value with the number of parameters it will now have. In my case, I added two parameters -Xms100m and -Xmx256m and it was 3 before so I bumped it to 5.
Then I created two more String values. I called the first one I added 'JVM Option Number 4' and the second 'JVM Option Number 5'. Then I set the value inside each. The first one I set to '-Xms100m' and the second I set to '-Xmx256m'. Then I restarted Tomcat and observed when I did big processing the memory limit was now 256 MB, so it worked. Hope this helps!
=-=-=-=-=
I tried this and it worked. I did not want to have to go through the whole reinstallation process, so this was best for me.
Thanks to all who helped on this.

How to find out CPU and memory usage for an instance?

Hi DBA Gurus,
How to find out CPU usage and memory usage for an instance?
Any information is appreciated!
Thank you!
Robert

you can calculate cpu usage by adding fallowing three factors which you can get from v$sysstat
1. Parse CPU time : This represents the percentage of CPU time spent parsing SQL statements. Parse time CPU can be a strong indication that an application has not been well tuned. High parse time CPU usually indicates that the application may be spending too much time opening and closing cursors or is not using bind variables.
2. Recursive CPU time : Sometimes, to execute a SQL statement issued by a user, the Oracle Server must issue additional statements. Such statements are called recursive calls or recursive SQL statements. For example, if you insert a row into a table that does not have enough space to hold that row, the Oracle Server makes recursive calls to allocate the space dynamically if dictionary managed tablespaces are being used.
Recursive calls are also generated due to the inavailability of dictionary info in the dictionary cache, firing of database triggers, execution of DDL, execution of SQL within PL/SQL blocks, functions or stored procedures and enforcement of referential integrity constraints
3. Other CPU time : This represents the percentage of time spent looking for buffers, fetching rows or index keys, etc. Generally, \"Other\" CPU should represent the highest percentage of CPU time out of the total CPU time used.
total memory used you can calculate adding
total_agrigate_area+sga
memory usage on os level you can know by fallowing commands
vmstat 5 20 depending upon os

How to minimize memory usage with VM settings

Using JDK 1.4.2, I am trying to minimize the memory usage of my application.
Our GUI application consumes about ~20MB of heap space during normal operation, but it can easily grow to 50MB in some rare cases (Special feature accessed by user).
We have to be able to run multiple instances (separate process/VMs) of this application on low end Windows PCs.
The applications don't usually run for very long (less than 8 hours).
Here is my problem.
If I set the -Xms=20M -Xmx=64M, it works fine, but the GC is not very aggressive and soon, the application starts using a lot of memory, even if it is not really needed. And it never returns the memory to Windows OS.
So each VM take more memory than really needed, which causes significant swapping on these low end PC (little RAM available).
If I reduce the -Xmx flag, than I run out of memory in the rare cases where I need the full memory.
Ideally, I would like to configure the GC to be more aggressive, i.e. the GC should collect instead of getting additional memory from the OS when possible.
I read a few papers on Sun's web site about HotSpot tunning, but most of them are geared for large servers.
Thanks!
Francois

And you are using the task manager to determine how "much" memory is being used correct?
I suggest that you search out and read the numerous threads on this site that discuss that subject.

How to check memory usage of a debug

I am very new, sorry for any newbishness on my part.
Is there a way to track how much memory your debug is using? I am trying to make a game, and I have 2 ways of doing something.
One with an array of square objects doing hitTest, and one only 1 object and an array of cords doing a nested if{}.
I want to see what each of these are doing in terms of memory usage during runtime and which one would be better.
(added)
Specificly not just which one of these is better, but also as different things are applied, I want to test how each of these things responds and which one would slow down a computer less. And later on as things progress I want a way to test it.

How to monitor memory usage of "Memory-based Snapshot" executable (MRCNSP) in Linux?

We have noticed in the past that MRCNSP/Memory-based Snapshot program executable consumes around 3.8 GB of memory on the linux VM. I understand that value change planning is 32 bit executable so 4 GB is the limit. I want to monitor the memory usage of the executable when the program runs. The program usually runs overnight. I wanted to check with you experts if you have any MRP executable memory usage monitoring script that I could use.
I found the metalink note OS Environment and Compile Settings for Value Chain and MRP/Supply Chain Planning Applications (Doc ID 1085614.1) which talks about "top -d60 >>$HOME/top.txt". Please share your ideas for monitoring this process.
We do not use Demand Planning or Demanta or Advanced Supply Chain Planning which are 64 bit application. That is our future direction.
Environment:
EBS : R12.1.2 on Linux. The concurrent manager is on 64 bit linux VM, web services on 32 bit VMs.
DB: Oracle DB 11.2.0.3 on HP UX Itanium 11.31. Single database instance.
Thanks

RAM on the controller is not the same as the C: drive. With respect to the controller, you can think of it in the same terms as your computer. RAM is volatile memory and your C: drive is non volatile flash memory.
Depending on the frequency of the temperature excursions above and below your 70C threshold, the service life of the controller and the method you used to append to the file, there could be a number of issues that may creep up over time.
The first, and the one you brought up is the size of the file over time. Left unchecked this file could grow continuously until the system literally runs out of flash memory space and chokes. Depending on how your are appending data to this file, you could also use more than a trivial slice of processor time to read and write this big file on disk. While I have not personally ever run one of the RT controllers out of "disk space", I can't imagine that any good could come of that.
One thought is to keep a rolling history of say the last 3 months. Each month, start a new file and append your data to it during the course of the month. Each time a new file is created, delete the data file from something like 3 months ago. This will ensure that you will always have the last 3 months of history on the system, however the monthly deletion of the oldest data file will limit you to say 3 files at whatever size they happen to be. Unless there are hundreds of thousands of transitions above and below your threshold this should keep you in good shape.
I also eluded to the method you use to write to this file. I would ensure that you are appending data using the actual file functions and not first reading in the file, appending your data as a string then writing the entire file contents back to disk. In addition to causing the highest load on the file system this method also has the largest system RAM requirements.

How to calculate memory usage base on graphic utilization

PL/SQL collections are stored in the PGA. So you can monitor the PGA utilization of the session(s) to see how much PGA they use.
SELECT sid, name, value
FROM v$statname name
JOIN v$sesstat using (statistic#)
WHERE name.name in ('session pga memory', 'session pga memory max' )That will show you, for each session, the current PGA consumed by the session and the high water mark of PGA consumption by that session. You can join to V$SESSION and add additional predicates to narrow things down to the particular sessions you are interested in.

How to reduce memory usage?

OK - I've read through a ton of posts that discuss the "Out of memory" problem in Encore, but what can I do to reduce memory usage?
I'm trying to produce a very simple Blu-Ray (h.264) project in Encore CS3 on Windows Vista. There are 8 or 9 timelines, a main menu, and 6 sub-menus. Each sub-menu has six static buttons. There are no transitons or motion menus. When I load the project, Task Manager says Encore is using about 1.3 GB RAM. I constantly get "out of memory" errors.
I've loaded the same project on Vista 32-bit w/ 4GB RAM and Vista 64-bit w/ 8 GB RAM. Same behavior on both.
Two questions:
1. Why does Encore need 1.3 GB RAM for such a simple project?
2. How do I reduce the memory usage?
TIA for help on the PITA,

excuse me for revitalizing this, but this:

still is neccesary to get an output in the log.
btw. my log doesn't inform the memory-usage.
is there an easy way to see how much memory it actually uses?
Shouldn't there be a proccess running wich I can see in htop and therefor the memory usage?

How to decrease memory usage in XE 11.2

Yesterday I uninstalled Oracle XE 10 and installed OracleXE 11. Everything is going fine so far except for the memory usage - it's around 800 megs. I remember having this problem with the last XE instance, and there was some way to change this, but I don't recall what it was. I looked around on the XE web interface - which is very different from the last interface - but couldn't find anything.
Does anybody know what I'm needing to change?
Thanks in advance!

How to meter memory usage

Hi,
I want to meter the memory usage of some XML-Parsers. Thus I do something like
long before = Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory();
//parse
long after = Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemrory();but always the difference (after - before) returns a negative value, which means that the parsing creates memory ;-)
First I guessed, that during parsing the GC gets active and collects more objects than created. So I called the GC right before the upper code, wait for 2000ms to ensure the GC does something, but the result is the same.
I tried this with the kXML2.0, XParse-J and ASXMLP with different sizes but the same result.
What goes wrong there?

Where are you trying it out?
Some phones, specially high-end phones like Series 60, allocate more heap memory dynamically while the program is running, so the freeMemory() keeps getting bigger the more memory you allocate.
Other than that, there really is no way to make sure the garbage collector runs after you call System.gc(). Implementations are free to completely ignore a call like this, even if you give them time to do it.

How to reduce memory usage when loading bitmaps from the library?

When I use BitmapData.loadBitmap() to load an image from the library and then attachBitmap() to add it to a MovieClip it takes a lot more memory as opposed to just having the same image inside a MovieClip statically in a frame on it's timeline.
The function dispose() not only clears the BitmapData object but also destroys the previously attached bitmap inside the MovieClip, so it can not be used to free any memory.
Is it how it is supposed to be or is there any other way to dynamically attach bitmaps with memory usage comparable to just having them on stage?

no, you use attachMovie() to create instance from library movieclips that have a linkage id.
you can then create a bitmapdata instance and use the draw() method to overlay as many as needed.

How to disable memory cache for SL410?

Hi,
My lenovo thinkpad SL410 has Windows 7 prof edition as its OS. But in the last few months it frequently crashes. Many times when I use Chrome browser status would indicate AppCache, and that's an evil OMEN for its usually the prelude of crash. Other browser may or may not have such issue, however, Chrome is really my preferred web browser.
Some research seems to suggest disabling memory cache via BIO setup would resolve it. And here's my lenovo's BIO info:
Version: 1.23
Date: 2009-10-19
but it does not have any info as to who's its maker or the like. And I don't see any option in the BIO setup that would allow me to disable cache. So, two questions,
a) Is it possible to disable memory cache for SL410?
b) if so how?
Thanks.

As I know currently there is no programmatically way to clean cache for WebView, see Matt's blog:How to clear the WebView cache
However if you are developing an enterprise app, you should be able to invoke some scripts to clean for you, see this for more information:Brokered
