memory

hello sir,

Object[][] el=new Object[100][100];
It is working. but i need Object[][] el=new Object[100000][100000];

you sent if i declare

int n=100000;
Object[][] el=new Object[n][n];
it'll work. but it doesn't work.

the error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
can i store 100000 of values.

If you do a search you'll find several posts that explain how to assign more memory to the JVM. How much you'll need I can't tell you though, you'll have to play around a bit with different values.

You are not storing 100000 values in the second example, but 10000000000. You will require a heap space of several tens of GB to fit it in. Most PCs don't have that amount of memory available at all.

What are you doing exactly that you would need to do something like that? or are you just testing the JVM limits?

There are more than likely several different work-arounds to doing something like that. Do you really need 10 billion objects in memory all at the same time? Couldn't you read/write/execute/whatever your objects a few at a time? If this is a real problem that you need help with than please give us more details to assist you with. Increasing your system memory is not a good solution in my opinion because I can't think of a single situation in which you would have to have 10 billion objects in memory at one time.

If you need 10000000000 (= 100 crore) objects, you would do better to put them into a database. That will happily hold that many objects, assuming you have enough hard drive space.

10000000000 (= 100 crore)

that sounds more Indian

Very definitely English . . . but I try to speak your language

More like 1000 crore. But full marks for the effort

I did say "try". I'm glad I didn't say "Succeed"

Ok.... what's a crore? Let the rest of us in

I thought it was 10^8 (100,000,000) but it is actually 10^7 (10,000,000).

So it's an Indian word that represents 10 million? Why would you need such a measurement? The largest measurement I can think of for money that isn't a real number would be a grand or $1,000 :P

Maybe it's the number of Java programmers in Bangalore?

But let's get this thread back on topic
