Re: OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

[Adrian Speteanu <as...@gmail.com>]

you have to increase the virtual memory size, if on a windows station and a
defragmenting of the OS disk-partition might be useful for the space to
provide room for the JVM requirements. I've encountered a similar JVM crash
during load tests and after some research found some opinions / comments on
the bug that the JVM requires the virtual memory not to be fragmented (so
that it has continuous space for blocks of at least 50% of JVM virtual
memory space requirements) - however, it was also a windows only issue. this
sounded tricky since it's the OS responsibility to manage resources and not
of the JVM, but it doesn't occur if you set the starting parameters in
jmeter.bat correctly for your test machine and if the virtual memory isn't
used intensively by other applications in parallel with jmeter...
