Max Heap Size on Itanium

Wed Jul 10 00:19:00 GMT 2002

Good.
Now, if I am using the native code interface,
is it possible to map for example 10 GB of
shared memory to the process and access
it with the native code.

Building the collector with -DLARGE_CONFIG should increase both numbers, with the second number going to around 4GB. If you need more than that, this is still relatively easy to change. The cost is additional overhead in a few statically allocated one-bit-per-page bit maps. Some of the standard numbers should probably be increased (again).
