    • 0 or 1 to reduce CPU utilization and accelerate warmup phase without losing performance.

    • 2 or 3 to get incremental performance improvements.

  • The release of Zing 19.10.0.0 provides better throughput and latency characteristics with heaps of 1 GB and below.

Issue ID Description

ZVM-12876

Test failure due to code cache exhaustion on configurations with heaps of 4 GB and below are more likely to happen on ZVM 19.10.0.0 as the default CodeCache size progressively shrinks for such configurations. Workaround: Increase the code cache size using the -XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=<size> option (you can specify up to 1280 MB for <size>). Alternatively, switch off the FalconGenerateProfilerInfo flag, set to true by default, for improving observability and gathering more accurate and complete information for debugging.
