out of heap space memory error

Question

I am trying to run the coreNLP package with the following program

package corenlp;
import edu.stanford.nlp.pipeline.*;
import java.io.IOException;
/**
 *
 * @author Karthi
 */
public class Main {

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
        // TODO code application liogic here
        String str="-cp stanford-corenlp-2010-11-12.jar:stanford-corenlp-models-2010-11-06.jar:xom-1.2.6.jar:jgrapht-0.7.3.jar -Xms3g edu.stanford.nlp.pipeline.StanfordCoreNLP [ -props <Main> ] -file <input.txt>";
        args=str.split(" ");
        StanfordCoreNLP scn=new StanfordCoreNLP();
        scn.main(args);
    }

}

I am not sure if the code itself is correct, but am getting the following error

Java Result: 1

I tried giving these values in VM options in netbeans, but for each value i am getting error

-Xms3g

run:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Incompatible initial and maximum heap sizes specified
Java Result: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)

-Xmx3g

run:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Java Result: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)

-Xms3g -Xmx4g

run:
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
Invalid maximum heap size: -Xmx4g
The specified size exceeds the maximum representable size.
Java Result: 1
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 0 seconds)

Answer 1

Which OS are you running this on? Is it a 64 bit system? If not, then you are pretty much restricted when it comes to how much heap you can allocate to a single Java process. Try running with -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M and see if it solves your issue.

Answer 2

try with the runtime parameters

java -cp -XX:+AggressiveHeap -jar jarfile

or

java -cp... -XX:MaxHeapFreeRatio=70 -XX:+UseLargePages -jar jarfile
