jcoyne Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hi Jon, We've just implemented a 2x 12 core server with 128gb of ram and want to test some tuning options. What files do we need to edit to test the increase the main process memory from 15 to 30, the crawlers from 4 to 6 and crawler memory from 2-3gb ?

jon.pearse Posted November 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Hi, The Main Process memory can be adjusted using the slider in the Case Editor window for that specific case. The slider will only allow you to use up to half the memory in the system. This is because the system also requires memory for crawlers, the OS and other non Intella related applications and services running on the system. The number of crawlers can be increased by editing the 'Intella.l4j.ini' file which is located in the installation folder for Intella. Close Intella. Open the 'Intella.l4j.ini' file and find the line '# -Dintella.crawlersCount=4' Remove the leading # as this comments the line, meaning that the line will be ignored if it is still present. Change the value at the end to the number of crawlers that you want to use (don't set this higher than the number of physical cores). Save the 'Intella.l4j.ini' file. The amount of memory to be assigned to each crawler can be changed in the 'Intella.l4j.ini' file as well. Close Intella. Open the 'Intella.l4j.ini' file and find the line '# -Dintella.serviceMaxHeap=800M' Remove the leading # then change the number at the end to the amount of memory that you want to assign to each crawler. E.g to set 2GB of memory to each crawler use this '-Dintella.serviceMaxHeap=2G' Save the 'Intella.l4j.ini' file. Note that it is best to run some tests after making memory and crawler changes to see which configuration works the most efficiently with your particular dataset.

jcoyne Posted December 10, 2016 Report Share Posted December 10, 2016 Thanks Jon, Does connect have the same Tuning Options? We have a case being reviewed at the moment and the reviewers are working well, but the connect java processes are only using half of the cores available on the machine.

ŁukaszBachman Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Does connect have the same Tuning Options? Yes, Connect behaves the same in this regard. However note that adding more crawlers does not mean that you will immediately see all cores being occupied while reviewing your case. This mechanism is used only in few certain processes, like Jon pointed out in this article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscheerbaum Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Hi, is the limitation of 6 crawlers still valid? Or is it possible to enable the full number of cores when e.g. using a 20-core machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon.pearse Posted March 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Hi, no it is not limited to 6 crawlers. 6 is the number I used just for this example. You can set 20 crawlers if your hardware allows that number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
