Class LTMemory

javax.realtime.MemoryArea

javax.realtime.ScopedMemory

javax.realtime.LTMemory

public class LTMemory
extends ScopedMemory

Jamaica Real-Time Specification for Java class LTMemory.

A memory area of this type is guaranteed to have allocation time linear in the size of the allocation.

The memory allocated in this memory area is not subject to garbage collection. It is hence safe to access this memory from within a NoHeapRealtimeThread or an AsyncBaseEventHandler with no-heap set to true.

In JamaicaVM, the actual size will never be increased dynamically, i.e., it remains at the initial value.

In JamaicaVM, the memory space for this LTMemory area is allocated from the normal Java heap (HeapMemory), i.e., it is not depending on an external memory source such as a call to the C function malloc(). This implies that the creation of an LTMemory may fail if the available memory on the Java heap is low.

Constructor Detail

LTMemory

public LTMemory(long initialSizeInBytes,
                long maxSizeInBytes)

Constructor to create an instance of LTMemory with the given initial and maximum size.

In JamaicaVM, the size of an LTMemory is not increased dynamically. If the initial size is less than maxSizeInBytes, it will be set to maxSizeInBytes.

Parameters:

initialSizeInBytes - The initial size of the memory area in bytes.

maxSizeInBytes - The maximum size of the memory area in bytes.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if initialSizeInBytes > maxSizeInBytes or initialSizeInBytes < 0 or maxSizeInBytes < 0.

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError - if there is insufficient free memory on the heap.

LTMemory

public LTMemory(long initialSizeInBytes,
                long maxSizeInBytes,
                java.lang.Runnable logic)

Constructor to create an instance of LTMemory with the given initial and maximum size and default logic.

In JamaicaVM, the size of an LTMemory is not increased dynamically. If the initial size is less than maxSizeInBytes, it will be set to maxSizeInBytes.

Parameters:

initialSizeInBytes - The initial size of the memory area in bytes.

maxSizeInBytes - The maximum size of the memory area in bytes.

logic - The default logic to be executed on a call to enter().

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if initialSizeInBytes > maxSizeInBytes or initialSizeInBytes < 0 or maxSizeInBytes < 0.

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError - if there is insufficient free memory on the heap.

LTMemory

public LTMemory(SizeEstimator initial,
                SizeEstimator maximum)

Constructor to create an instance of LTMemory with the given initial and maximum size.

In JamaicaVM, the size of an LTMemory is not increased dynamically. If the initial size is less than maxSizeInBytes, it will be set to maxSizeInBytes.

Parameters:

initial - An instance of SizeEstimator that determines the initial size of the memory area.

maximum - An instance of SizeEstimator that determines the maximum size of the memory area.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if initial or maximum is null or initial.getEstimate() > max.getEstimate().

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError - if there is insufficient free memory on the heap.

LTMemory

public LTMemory(SizeEstimator initial,
                SizeEstimator maximum,
                java.lang.Runnable logic)

Constructor to create an instance of LTMemory with the given initial and maximum size and default logic.

In JamaicaVM, the size of an LTMemory is not increased dynamically. If the initial size is less than maxSizeInBytes, it will be set to maxSizeInBytes.

Parameters:

initial - An instance of SizeEstimator that determines the initial size of the memory area.

maximum - An instance of SizeEstimator that determines the maximum size of the memory area.

logic - The default logic to be executed on a call to enter().

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if initial or maximum is null or initial.getEstimate() > max.getEstimate().

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError - if there is insufficient free memory on the heap.
