Despite the claims that Memory Analyzer works well with large heaps, the following screenshot is the evidence of my continued inability to have it parse a 3.5GB heap dump.
I have attempted JDK 5 and JDK 6, both 64-bit, with up to 14GB of memory allocated on an 8-core machine with 16GB of memory.
Note the memory bar at the bottom showing it’s using only 2121M out of 11879M – yet it still thinks it’s running out of memory.
The settings are:
-vmargs
-Xms12g
-Xmx14g
-XX:MaxPermSize=1G
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts
-XstartOnFirstThread
-vmargs
-Xms12g
-Xmx14g
-XX:MaxPermSize=1G
