  • Active control of memory for java virtual machines and other application runtime environments
    Patent number: 9459894
    Abstract: A method and structure for dynamic memory re-allocation for an application runtime environment (ARE) includes receiving, through an interface of an application runtime environment (ARE), a first set of internal operational metrics of the ARE executing at a current setting S1 on a processor of a computer. A first performance P1 of the ARE is determined at the current setting S1 using the received first set of internal operation metrics. The current setting S1 of the ARE is varied to a new setting S2. A second set of internal operational metrics of the ARE executing at the new setting S2 is received through the interface of the ARE. A second performance P2 of the ARE is determined at the new setting S2, using the received second set of internal operation metrics. A memory allocation for the ARE is re-allocated, based on the determined performances P1 and P2.
