Currently we are running Java 1.5 with 64 bit version on the superdome server with Redhat O/S. But we have not specified the -server option in the JAVA_OPTS. Is it must to have -server option specified when you are using a 64 bit Java.
The CPU utilization nags me very much. The performance of the application pages/transactions are meeting our targets except the cpu target. We have the same application running on Weblogic/Apache/Oracle on Solaris O/S in which the CPU for 100 virtual user is 50-60%. To identify the surge in CPU, I tested the following scenario's yday. 2 users - Single Tomcat - 12-18% of CPU 4 users - Single Tomcat - 20-30% of CPU 6 users - Single Tomcat - 40-50% of CPU More than 6 users - Single/Double Tomcat - CPU utilization is 70-80%. Even if I test with 25/50/100 users the CPU maintains at 70%. We have max threads as 40 and I increased to 60 but did not find any difference in CPU. My application is an internet based one which currently has half a million page views everyday. In the near future it may exceed one million. I cannot test more than 100 users as we do not have license for more than 100 users. Is it a normal behavior of the tomcat ?
