Ideally, caIntegrator should be run on a dedicated server, with the heap size set as close as possible to the amount of available physical memory without destabilizing the underlying operating system.

The table below shows data from extensive testing of caIntegrator study deployments on different hardware configurations with varying amounts of heap space.

REFERENCE INFORMATION:

 

 

 

 

 

 

* Trials #1 and #2 were performed on a Dell Optiplex 755 workstation running Windows XP Professional

 

* The workstation runs on an Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 processor at 2.40 Ghz

 

* The total installed physical memory is 3.25 GB, with approximately 1.75 GB available at the time of testing before launching caIntegrator

 

 

 

 

Trial #1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* The heap space setting as specified in run.bat is -Xms256m -Xmx512m
