If it's total # gibberish to you, please study my article at # http://www.atg.com/portal/myatg/developer?paf_dm=full&paf_gear_id=1100010&detailArticle=true&id=9606 # # JMeter objects can generally be grouped into three life-length groups: # # - Per-sample objects (results, DOMs,...). An awful lot of those. # Life length of milliseconds to a few seconds. # # - Per-run objects (threads, listener data structures,...). Not that many # of those unless we use the table or tree listeners on heavy runs. # Life length of minutes to several hours, from creation to start of next run. # # - Per-work-session objects (test plans, GUIs,...). # Life length: for the life of the JVM. # This is the base heap size -- you may increase or decrease it to fit your # system's memory availablity: HEAP="-Xms256m -Xmx256m" # There's an awful lot of per-sample objects allocated during test run, so we # need a large eden to avoid too frequent scavenges -- you'll need to tune this # down proportionally if you reduce the HEAP values above: NEW="-XX:NewSize=128m -XX:MaxNewSize=128m" # This ratio and target have been proven OK in tests with a specially high # amount of per-sample objects (the HtmlParserHTMLParser tests): # SURVIVOR="-XX:SurvivorRatio=8 -XX:TargetSurvivorRatio=50%" # Think about it: trying to keep per-run objects in tenuring definitely # represents a cost, but where's the benefit? They won't disappear before # the test is over, and at that point we will no longer care about performance. # # So we will have JMeter do an explicit Full GC before starting a test run, # but then we won't make any effort (or spend any CPU) to keep objects # in tenuring longer than the life of per-sample objects -- which is hopefully # shorter than the period between two scavenges): # TENURING="-XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=2" # This evacuation ratio is OK (see the comments for SURVIVOR) during test # runs -- no so sure about operations that bring a lot of long-lived information into # memory in a short period of time, such as loading tests or listener data files. # Increase it if you experience OutOfMemory problems during those operations # without having gone through a lot of Full GC-ing just before the OOM: # EVACUATION="-XX:MaxLiveObjectEvacuationRatio=20%" # Avoid the RMI-induced Full GCs to run too frequently -- once every ten minutes # should be more than enough: RMIGC="-Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=600000" # PermSize is a scam. Leave it like this: PERM="-XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=64m" # Finally, some tracing to help in case things go astray: DEBUG="-verbose:gc -XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution" SERVER="-server" ARGS="$SERVER $HEAP $NEW $SURVIVOR $TENURING $EVACUATION $RMIGC $PERM $DEBUG" java -server -jar `dirname $0`/ApacheJMeter*.jar "$@"
