The parameter max-areas is directly related to the -Xmx parameter and the number of tiles in the split-file. If you want to find the best parms, I suggest to create the two split-files, execute splitter with --max-areas=1024 and -Xms4GB -Xmx8GB (one after the other) After that you can examine the log files with e.g. garbagecat http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/garbagecat/downloads/detail?name=garbagecat-1.0.1.jar&can=2&q= Your goal should be to give each splitter enough heep to process all tiles in the split-file in one pass, so if you have enough heap, max-areas should be higher than the number of tiles in the split-file. > > I don't know much about java, but would be possible, that splitter > detects that and runs several instances automatical? Eg. read max-heap, > max-cpu-cores, number of tiles, size of input. I thought about this as well. In the past it didn't work because we did not know anything about the input, but now we read it several times and may use the information somehow...
