[Geoserver-users] Memory requirements

What are the memory requirements for running Geoserver1.6.1? I'm trying to run it from a public website and running into memory issues. Right now I have 32mb of allocated RAM.

Regards,

Hum, only 32? It's even less than the standard memory the jvm uses (64 by default).

If you do much wms you'll end up with OOMs. For a small production
setting I suggest you start the virtual machine with
-Xms64m -Xmx256m
that is, start with 64, grow up to 256.

It also depend much on how big are the images you're serving. For example, if your typical image request is, say, 1024x768, you'll
need 1024*768*4(byte per pixel)=~3MB per image.
