About memory allocation

[luzimu]

Thanks for your great work, which helps me too much. However, I encountered an error “Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space” while running the command "java -jar -Xms1024M -Xmx1024M thuir-sentires.jar -t lexicon -c lei/4.lexicon.linux" Am I doing something blatantly wrong? I will really appreciate any insight on how to solve this problem.

You may try to allocate more memory if your machine allows you to do so. This can be done by changing the number 1024 in the command into a larger one, e.g., 2048. This is what I did when I encountered such problems.

We have changed the number 1024 to 102400, but also met such problem. How much memory did you allocate when running this command?

Because the machines in our lab have sufficient memory, I set the command like this "java -jar -Xmx200G thuir-sentires.jar -t lexicon -c lei/4.lexicon.linux >> log.txt". And it is fine in my case.
