I initially posted this on the sourceforge STAF forum yesterday(?), but my post seems to have gone missing so I'll give the email list a shot...
We are experiencing, and not for the first time, STAFProc and the STAX JVM sucking lots of CPU on the machine which is our dedicated 'STAX server,' i.e. the one running the STAX service through which all our production STAX scripts are run (while other clients actually execute the processes called in the STAX jobs). PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 14481 root 20 0 1351m 20m 4360 S 107 1.0 11957:39 STAFProc 14533 root 20 0 989m 200m 18m S 61 9.9 6442:09 java this is on a 4-core fedora core 7, x86_64 box, with STAF 3.3.4.1, STAX 3.3.7. the high load began last tuesday morning just past midnight; the one job which has been running since Monday afternoon is our longevity test, which has run many times before (since last modified) without the system CPU pegging. the only impairment we see is that STAX jobs are taking longer to launch, which has caused some timing-sensitive cases to fail. I've looked in the stdout for STAFProc, nothing there but the launch message, and similar for the STAX jvm log: ****************************************************************************** *** 20091007-19:52:31 - Start of Log for JVMName: STAX *** JVM Executable: /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14/jre/bin/java *** JVM Options : -Xmx384m *** JVM Version : java version "1.5.0_14" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_14-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_14-b03, mixed mode) *** JVM PID : 14533 ****************************************************************************** *sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/usr/local/staf/lib/JSTAF.jar' *sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/usr/local/staf/samples/demo/STAFDemo.jar' *sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/usr/local/staf/services/stax/STAX.jar' *sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/usr/local/staf/data/STAF/lang/java/shared_jython/2.1-staf-v3.3/jython.jar' *sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14/jre/lib/rt.jar' *sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14/jre/lib/jsse.jar' *sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14/jre/lib/jce.jar' *sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14/jre/lib/charsets.jar' *sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14/jre/lib/ext/dnsns.jar' *sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14/jre/lib/ext/sunpkcs11.jar' *sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14/jre/lib/ext/sunjce_provider.jar' *sys-package-mgr*: processing new jar, '/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14/jre/lib/ext/localedata.jar' Registered Extensions for STAX Version 3.3.7: any ideas on where else to poke and prod to get some sense of what's spinning the CPU? thanks in advance, nathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
