Thanks Arjun. "you may be using the same object in all your rules; so the theoretical ReteOO performance goes for a toss coz it does branch the tree based on object type." it is interesting to know this point. I didn't know that also affects performance. Yes. I use same object in most of the rules

Thank you very much everyone for feedback. I did kind of dry run in prod server with 10 parallel threads today each with 2000 facts. CPU usage varied from 60% to 99%. Thompson, as per your suggestion, I also monitored the run queue whose value varied from 4 to 14. John A Thompson wrote: > > I w

I would not worry about this, especially on solaris. You're first test was invalid. You ran on an idle system. The OS is going to give the Java process whatever amount of the CPU it needs to complete its work. On an idle system, there is nothing competing for the CPU. In this scenario, a very

Wolfgang is providing very sensible comments. On top of that, it is always good to remember that the Rete algorithm is optimized for the processing of high volumes of rules and the overall performance is not tied to the number of existing rules, but the average number of matching rules.

In fact, what I did on a project with drools, I limit the number of threads running drools. You can do this by using a java semaphore set up to 3 so that the fourth thread must wait for one to release its semaphore. In your case, limit the number of drools thread to 3, so the CPU will stay at 40%.

Many hounds soon catch the hare. :-) You are not nice (hint, hint!) to other users if you monopolize the resources that are up for grabs. That's neither a problem of rules in general, nor that of Drools in particular. Launching many threads doing your stuff in parallel will make you reach the end

Hello, Yes, when running drools, the cpu usages goes high. It is one of the main caracteristic with rule engine : the more cpu you have the quickler it is !! It is normal because all the rete graph & Co are in ram and drools work on it. So there is not wait for database, IO and co so CPU goes very

The figures you gave just indicate that you have a good balance between I/O and CPU load. The increase between "no rules" and "~60 rules" is to be expected as all the work is being done during fact insertion. Of course, adding more and more rules will, eventually, push the CPU load factor to the na
