BlackDown's (linux) is a great VM, and I could also recommend IBM's ones
(for several OS's)
The footprint of your app server could be important... I've found Pramati
Server/Studio most suitable, and extremely small in mem requirements, so I'm
loading two or three servers in the same machine, runnning in a cluster for
failover.


Oh, I do not work for IBM or Pramati.

Subject: Choosing a VM


I am at the stage of squeezing performance out of my application. And so
what I want to know is:

What is the fastest Virtual Machine on the market, free or commercial.
Platform is not an issue  so windows, Unix, linux. I want the VM that will
run my J2EE based app the fastest.

Also has anyone got any idea or knows how you measure how many objects can
be stored in memory before the swap space is thrashed. Obviously this
depends on the size of your objects but is their a magic mathematical
formula for calculating this. For example I have created my self a cache and
say I have 1gig of memory available, then how many of a certain type of
object can I put into this cache. I want to work out a maximum limit with
respect to the amount of memory I have available.


Cheers guys.
