Zero Memory Allocation

NOTE: This feature is only available in the extended version of MentaLog

MentaLog produces zero garbage, even in asynchronous mode, thanks to MentaQueue. That's very important if you want to avoid the latency produced by the Java garbage collector.

You can test this by running the GCTest program:

java -server -verbose:gc -cp /usr/share/java/jna.jar:../MentaLogExt/target/mentalogext.jar:target/mentalog-all.jar -DmemoryMappedFile=true -DmemoryMappedBufferSize=150m -Dasynchronous=true -DdetailedBenchmark=true -Ddelay=20 -DprocToBindProducer=2 -DlogProcToBindConsumer=3 -Xms1g -Xmx4g -XX:NewSize=512m -XX:MaxNewSize=1024m org.mentalog.test.GCTest 1000000

The output:
