Re: [rvm-research] Why more heap required to finish Dacapo iteration runs?

Hi Andreas,

Sorry for late response!
Yes, the question is why the minimum total heap size growing with more iterations.

Some links online saying there are ways to dump heap in Jikes, but I do not have time to try them yet. Will let you know, if any work.
For the second question, I rethink it and need some time to make it clear.
 
Thanks!
Best
Junjie

not sure whether there is a way to dump the heap with Jikes RVM. Maybe
rdb [1] can do it or others on this list know of a way how.

HotSpot doesn't include compiled code in its heap dumps.

That being said, I am not sure what you mean by the second question: Are
you referring to some kind of debug output like the one obtained with
-verbose:gc? And how does the nursery fit into this? So far, we have
been talking about the minimum total heap size growing over time, right?

Best wishes,

Andreas
