Abstract:
In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for two-tier adaptive heap management (AHM) in a virtual machine environment, such as a Java virtual machine (JVM). In accordance with an embodiment, a two-tier AHM approach recognizes that more virtual machines can be run on a particular host, or the same number of virtual machines can support higher load while minimizing out-of-memory occurrences, swapping, and long old garbage collection pauses, if the heap is divided into tiers, so that a garbage collection policy that minimizes pause time can be used in a first (normal) tier, and a garbage collection policy that favors heap compaction and release of free memory to the host can be used in another (high-heap) tier.
Abstract:
Data can be categorized into facts, information, hypothesis, and directives. Activities that generate certain categories of data based on other categories of data through the application of knowledge which can be categorized into classifications, assessments, resolutions, and enactments. Activities can be driven by a Classification-Assessment-Resolution-Enactment (CARE) control engine. The CARE control and these categorizations can be used to enhance a multitude of systems, for example diagnostic system, such as through historical record keeping, machine learning, and automation. Such a diagnostic system can include a system that forecasts computing system failures based on the application of knowledge to system vital signs such as thread or stack segment intensity and memory heap usage. These vital signs are facts that can be classified to produce information such as memory leaks, convoy effects, or other problems. Classification can involve the automatic generation of classes, states, observations, predictions, norms, objectives, and the processing of sample intervals having irregular durations.
