JVM allocation of memory

[Santosh Koti <Sa...@infosys.com>]

Hi,



I need to allocate a memory of 2 GB (~ 2048) , I tried setting it in
GERONIMO_OPTS , but unfortunately doesn't start up, if I get back to
1536MB, it goes fine..?



My sys info:

   3.5 GB RAM

   Win 2003 Server Ed.



Thanks,

Santosh.

Re: JVM allocation of memory

[Aaron Mulder <am...@alumni.princeton.edu>]

The 32-bit JVM has some limits beyond which it won't start.  In my
experiments it was more like 2.5 GB, but it probably depends on the
specific JVM version, if not the OS.

The 64-bit JVM has no limits on the amount of memory it can start with.

Are you on a 64-bit/x64/AMD64 machine?  If so, have you tried using a
64-bit JVM?

Thanks,
