I run a Java code with the following command:
$ java -Xms4G -Xmx4G myjavacode
My cpu's RAM capacity is 6GB.
However it always fail to execute giving me this error message:
Invalid initial heap size: -Xms5G
The specified size exceeds the maximum representable size.
Could not create the Java virtual machine
Is there any way to set up Java option so that we can execute the code?
64 bit JVM installed on Solaris machines runs with a 32-bit model if you don't specify either -d32 or -d64, which won't accept a Maximum heap size of 4GB, hence "invalid heap size". You can resolve this issue by running Solaris JVM with option -d64.
To get rid of this error, the value of Xmx(maximum heap size) should always be greater than or equal to Xms(minimum heap size). Run the HelloWorld program with the value of Xms(minimum heap size) set to 1 gigabyte and Xmx(maximum heap size) set to 2 gigabytes.
OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space. 1) An easy way to solve OutOfMemoryError in java is to increase the maximum heap size by using JVM options "-Xmx512M", this will immediately solve your OutOfMemoryError.
You've exceeded the maximum heap size of your JVM. This is both JVM and OS dependent. In most 32-bit systems the maximum value will be 2Gb, regardless of the physical memory available.
By default Java will run in 32 bit mode. Be sure to give it the -d64 option to put it into 64 bit mode. Once in 64-bit mode, you shouldn't have any trouble allocating a 6GB JVM.
Actually, the maximum memory size on 32-bit systems can vary, being anything up to 4 GB, but 2 GB is a common value. It's often possible to re-link your kernel to increase this to 3 or 3.5 GB. The issue, of course, is that you just don't have the address space to map more memory. Have you tried a 64-bit machine?
Also, remember to set your ulimit higher before you do this.
