Adjust JVM Settings

In the menu item “Research” > “JVM Settings” user can adjust the following settings related to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM):

The JVM settings can also be accessed directly from the system without starting IGMAS+.

In Windows 10 just type “IGMAS+ settings” in the Start Menu to find the shortcut.

Initial heap size

When JVM starts, its heap space is equal to the initial size of heap memory specified by this parameter. As application progress, more objects get created and heap space is expanded to accommodate new objects. Usually it is not needed to adjust this value.

Maximum heap size

The JVM expands heap memory in Java somewhere near to maximum heap size specified by this parameter and if there is no more memory left for creating new objects in java heap, JVM throws `java.lang.OutOfMemoryError`` and application dies. Adjust it if you have problems with loading or creating a big model.

Proxy settings
