Is there a way to increase heap size of JMeter in Mac OSX? I have tried editing the jmeter.bat file, but it didn't help.
I edited the jmeter.sh file to add JVM_ARGS="-Xms3072m -Xmx3072m" jmeter.sh
I tried the following also
#!/bin/bash
heap_size='3072m'
JAVA_CMD="java -Xms$heap_size -Xmx$heap_size" meter`
as suggested in this link increase the memory allocated to jmeter in ubuntu linux
Does any one know how to do it in Mac OSX. I have java version as follows:
java version 1.6.0_65
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.65-b04-462, mixed mode)`
on OSX 10.9.4
As per JMeter Performance and Tuning Tips
Default JMeter java configuration comes with 512 Mo and very little GC tuning.
First ensure you set -Xmx option value to a reasonable value regarding your test requirements.
Then change MaxNewSize option in jmeter file to respect the original ratio between MaxNewSize and -Xmx.
Java Virtual Machine parameters can be tuned in jmeter script file which lives under /bin folder of JMeter installation. So
Open jmeter script with text editor of your choice
Look for the line HEAP="-Xms512m -Xmx512m"
Change minimum and maximum values according to your desires
Save the file and make sure that you're executing jmeter, not jmeter.sh
If you're looking for once-only command-line JVM args overriding you can call JMeter main jar directly without any shell script wrappers as
java -Xms1G -Xmx3G -jar ApacheJMeter.jar
The command above assumes that you're invoking it from /bin folder of your JMeter installation.
I installed JMeter on my Mac via Homebrew and found that I needed to create a new setenv.sh file containing the configurations, as specified in the jmeter file instructions:
Do not set the variables in this script. Instead put them into a script
setenv.sh in JMETER_HOME/bin to keep your customisations separate.
I found that the JMETER_HOME path was /usr/local/Cellar/jmeter/5.4.3/libexec/ as opposed to /usr/local/Cellar/jmeter/5.4.3/ which I initially tried unsuccessfully.
So, in the end, I had
/usr/local/Cellar/jmeter/5.4.3/libexec/bin/setenv.sh conatining:
HEAP="-Xms2g -Xmx4g -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize=512m"
NEW="-XX:NewSize=512m -XX:MaxNewSize=1024m"
Which I verified was working from the following in the jmeter.log file:
INFO o.a.j.JMeter: Max memory =4294967296
I am using Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, Java 1.6 64 bit. I am trying to start Weblogic with following memory args (setDomainEnv.cmd):
set USER_MEM_ARGS=-Xmx2048m -XX:PermSize=512m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m
But i'm getting an error:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
Those mermory args are required to deploy the app, so i can't lower it (physical mermory installed - 8 GB).
Combined with -Xmx512M use -d64 to make sure you're running 64-bit VM. On a 64-bit machine I thought for sure I was running 64-bit virtual machine, but no. After installing 64-bit Java the -d64 option works and -Xmx allows much larger memory sizes.
java -d64 -Xmx512M mypackage.Test

Could not reserve enough space for object heap
I am running weblogic 81. I had min=1024 and max =1024m with 4gb or RAM. 64bit processor and 32 bit java. I tried to increase the min/max value, it did not work. So, I changed the min/max to 512m and 1024m respectively. Thn it started to work.
When i installed for first time, the SOA environment developed mode, needed to do that:set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS% set DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS=-Xms512m -Xmx768m set PORT_MEM_ARGS=-Xms768m -Xmx1536m But over time, it shows me the same error and tube to make the following change: set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS% set DEFAULT_MEM_ARGS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m set PORT_MEM_ARGS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m But I'm still not sure why this happens.
I'm trying to increase value of heap size of my jvm, but it doesn't work. Could anybody help me with this geek problem?
My configuration are follow: Windows 7 x64, 4 GB, i3 CPU
When I try something like -Xmx2000M I have nothing
Where are my errors?
I think you are expecting this.
$ java -Xmx2000M -Xms1000M -XshowSettings:all
VM settings:
Min. Heap Size: 1000.00M
Max. Heap Size: 1.95G
Ergonomics Machine Class: server
Using VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM
Your command is half correct. You need to specify what you want to run with an increased heap size. Something like this
java -Xmx2000M -Xms1000M -jar <jar-file-name>.jar
you need to specify as well which class/jar you want to run. You cannot just increase the heap size per default for all java pplications. Instead you have to edit the command line of the program you are trying to run.
The error you have got in the last screen shot is about unavailability of the class file to run.
You should provide class file which includes main function while running java command.
java -Xmx2000M -Xms1000m MyClass
Considering you have MyClass.class in your classpath.
You need to provide something for JVM to run with these new settings.
The arguments you are using only configure the JVM, it still needs whatever jar or class file you want to run.
To permanently configure JVM profile on windows, follow these Instructions. The settings tool will let you edit runtime parameters:
may be I am late)
But I think you can use it. In IDEA choose Edit Configuration... on drop-down list(look on picture below). And then type in VM Options your parameters -Xmx2000M -Xms1000M.
How to find Edit Configuration on IDEA
I'm running my program from eclipse and using 64-bit java, but I still can't get it to allocate more than 2GB of memory. I'm running some benchmarks so I need a lot of memory.
I have this in my eclipse.ini:
-Xmx8g
I want it to use all my memory.
Could this be due to a 32-bit version of eclipse? I'm not sure what I have for eclipse.
I've tried sending in
-Xmx8g
to VMArgs when running the program.
I'm running 64-bit windows 7 and a 64-bit JRE.
In the run configuration screen, go to Arguments tab, add -Xmx8g to the VM arguments text box.
After trying everything else, it looked like VMArguments were simply not working in eclipse.
Changing the DEFAULT VM args within eclipse worked (finally!):
Inserting VM arguments into your JRE: while Eclipse is open, open up Preferences (for Windows: located under Window menu item. for Mac: located under Eclipse menu item), open the Java section, click on Installed JREs, click on the JRE being used (probably will be jre6), click on the Edit... button, and insert this into the Default VM Arguments:
-Xms256M -Xmx8192M
Try doing this:
System.getProperty("sun.arch.data.model")
And see if it returns 32 or 64 inside your program
Also you need to add -Xmx to your launch params for your program not just for eclipse.
You can verify your program's -Xmx is configured properly by doing:
Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory();
Try adding -d64 option to theeclipse.ini
I am getting the following exception repeatedly each time I try to run the program.
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
I tried to increase my virtual memory (page size) and RAM size, but to no avail.
How can I eliminate this error?
Run the JVM with -XX:MaxHeapSize=512m (or any big number as you need) (or -Xmx512m for short)
This can also be caused by setting something too large on a 32-bit HotSpot vm, for example:
-Xms1536m -Xmx1536m
where this might/would work:
-Xms1336m -Xmx1336m
here is how to fix it:
Go to Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced(tab)->Environment Variables->System
Variables->New: Variable name: _JAVA_OPTIONS
Variable value: -Xmx512M
Variable name: Path
Variable value: %PATH%;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin;F:\JDK\bin;
Change this to your appropriate path.
I ran into this when using javac, and it doesn't seem to pick up on the command line options,
-bash-3.2$ javac -Xmx256M HelloWorldApp.java
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
so the solution here it so set _JAVA_OPTIONS
-bash-3.2$ export _JAVA_OPTIONS="-Xmx256M"
-bash-3.2$ javac HelloWorldApp.java
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Xmx256M
And this compiles fine.
This happens to me on machines with a lot of RAM, but with lower memory ulimits. Java decides to allocate a big heap because it detects the ram in the machine, but it's not allowed to allocate it because of ulimits.
32-bit Java requires contiguous free space in memory to run. If you specify a large heap size, there may not be so much contiguous free space in memory even if you have much more free space available than necessary.
Installing a 64-bit version of Java helps in these cases, the contiguous memory requirements only applies to 32-bit Java.
Combined with -Xmx512M use -d64 to make sure you're running 64-bit VM. On a 64-bit machine I thought for sure I was running 64-bit virtual machine, but no. After installing 64-bit Java the -d64 option works and -Xmx allows much larger memory sizes.
java -d64 -Xmx512M mypackage.Test
Open gradle.properties file in android folder.
Replace this line:
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1536M
with:
org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx512m
Explanation:
Max limit from Gradle document:
If the requested build environment does not specify a maximum heap size, the Daemon will use up to 512MB of heap.
I got the same error and resolved this by configuring it in the run.conf.bat
Run the JVM with the configuring run.conf.bat in Jboss5x
If free memory is not available AS you are passing in the statement then please make changes in run.conf.bat
set "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m"
I had similar issues. I had installed 32 bit version of Java on a 64 bit machine.
By uninstalling that version and installing 64 bit version of Java. I was able to resolve the issue.
I know there are a lot of answers here already, but none of them helped me. In the end I opened the file /etc/elasticsearch/jvm.options and changed:
-Xms2G
-Xmx2G
to
-Xms256M
-Xmx256M
That solved it for me. Hopefully this helps someone else here.
Suppose your class is called Test in package mypackage. Run your code like this:
java -Xmx1024m mypackage.Test
This will reserve 1024 MB of heap space for your code. If you want 512 MB, you can use:
java -Xmx512m mypackage.Test
Use little m in 1024m, 512m, etc
Sometimes, this error indicates that physical memory and swap on the server actually are fully utilized!
I was seeing this problem recently on a server running RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.7 with 48 GB of RAM. I found that even just running
java -version
caused the same error, which established that the problem was not specific to my application.
Running
cat /proc/meminfo
reported that MemFree and SwapFree were both well under 1% of the MemTotal and SwapTotal values, respectively:
MemTotal: 49300620 kB
MemFree: 146376 kB
...
SwapTotal: 4192956 kB
SwapFree: 1364 kB
Stopping a few other running applications on the machine brought the free memory figures up somewhat:
MemTotal: 49300620 kB
MemFree: 2908664 kB
...
SwapTotal: 4192956 kB
SwapFree: 1016052 kB
At this point, a new instance of Java would start up okay, and I was able to run my application.
(Obviously, for me, this was just a temporary solution; I still have an outstanding task to do a more thorough examination of the processes running on that machine to see if there's something that can be done to reduce the nominal memory utilization levels, without having to resort to stopping applications.)
Error :
For the error, "error occurred during initialization of vm could not reserve enough space for object heap jboss"
Root Cause :
Improper/insufficient memory allocation to our JVM as mentioned below.
e.g. JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1303m -Xmx1303m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m" in jboss-eap-6.2\bin\standalone.conf or "JAVA_OPTS=-Xms1G -Xmx1G -XX:MaxPermSize=256M" in jboss-eap-6.2\bin\standalone.conf.bat which is nothing but JVM memory allocation pool parameters.
Resolution :
Increase the heap size. To increase the heap size,
goto -> jboss-eap-6.2\bin\standalone.conf.bat or jboss-eap-6.2\bin\standalone.conf
change ->JAVA_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m" where -Xms is Minimum heap size and -Xmx is Maximum heap size.
Usually its not recommanded to have same size for min and max.
If you are running your application from eclipse,
Double click on the server
select 'open launch configuration' you will be redirected to the window 'Edit launch configuration properties'.
In this windown goto the tab '(x)=Arguments'.
In VM Arguments, define your heap size as mentioned below
"-Dprogram.name=JBossTools: JBoss EAP 6.1+ Runtime Server" -server -Xms256m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dorg.jboss.resolver.warning=true
I recently faced this issue. I have 3 java applications that start with 1024m or 1280m heap size.
Java is looking at the available space in swap, and if there is not enough memory available, the jvm exits.
To resolve the issue, I had to end several programs that had a large amount of virtual memory allocated.
I was running on x86-64 linux with a 64-bit jvm.
I had right amount of memory settings but for me it was using a 64bit intellij with 32 bit jvm. Once I switched to 64 bit VM, the error was gone.
If you're running 32bit JVM, change heap size to smaller would probabaly help. You can do this by passing args to java directly or through enviroment variables like following,
java -Xms128M -Xmx512M
JAVA_OPTS="-Xms128M -Xmx512M"
For 64bit JVM, bigger heap size like -Xms512M -Xmx1536M should work.
Run java -version or java -d32, java--d64 for Java7 to check which version you're running.
Assuming you have enough free memory and you setup you JVM arguments correctly, you might have a problem of memory fragmentation. Check Java maximum memory on Windows XP.
Anyway, here is how to fix it:
Go to Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced(tab)->Environment Variables->System Variables->New:
Variable name: _JAVA_OPTIONS
Variable value: -Xmx512M
OR
Change the ant call as shown as below.
<exec
**<arg value="-J-Xmx512m" />**
</exec>
It worked for me.
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for 1572864KB object heap
I changed value of memory in settings.grade file
1536 to 512 and it helped
Go to Start->Control Panel->System->Advanced(tab)->Environment Variables->System Variables->New:
Variable name: _JAVA_OPTIONS
Variable value: -Xmx512M
In case you are running a java program:
- run your program in a terminal using the correct command for linux it would be 'java -jar myprogram.jar' and add -Xms256m -Xmx512m, for instance: 'java -jar myprogram.jar Xms256m -Xmx512m'
In case you are running a .sh script (linux, mac?) or a .bat script (windows) open the script and look for the java options if they are present and increase the memory.
If all of the above doesn't work, check your processes (ctrl+alt+delete on windows) (ps aux on linux/mac) and kill the processes which use allot of memory and are not necessary for your operating system! => Try to re-run your program.
In CASSANDRA_HOME/bin/cassandra.bat you would find following configuration
REM JVM Opts we'll use in legacy run or installation
set JAVA_OPTS=-ea^
-javaagent:"%CASSANDRA_HOME%\lib\jamm-0.3.0.jar"^
-Xms**2G**^
-Xmx**2G**^
You can reduce 2G to some smaller number for e.g. 1G or even lesser and it should work.
Same if you are running on unix box, change in .sh file appropriately.
I got the same error and it got resolved when I deleted temp files using %temp% and restarting eclipse.
Sometimes it relates as
$ sysctl vm.overcommit_memory
vm.overcommit_memory = 2
If you set it to:
$ sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=0
It should work.
Replace -Xmx2G with -Xms512M or any greater memory size in cassandra.bat file in cassandra bin directory.
In my case I couldn't increase org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx... in gradle.properties beyond 1GB. It didn't work because I had two Java installation on my machine, one 32 bit (Gradle was using this one) and the other 64 bit. I resolved the problem by adding JAVA_HOME environment variable pointing to 64 bit Java.
No need to do anything just chnage in POM file like below
<configuration>
<maxmemory>1024M</maxmemory>
</configuration>
