> Sporadic failures were observed for TestLargeObjectAlignment.java#generational. The current theory is that jtreg deafult heap size on the reporter's machines is too small, and the randomness in test just sometimes created a huge heap larger than what the test had.
>
> Did a calculation for the worst case (see the code snippet at the end - it removes the Random in the original test and always allocates the array to full) and the test needs at least 2g. Initiating 3g heap for safety to reduce the noise.
>
> Also use the test to compare between Shenandoah vs GenShen: on my laptop (Mac M3), Shen failed at 2150m Xmx, GenShen could pass Xmx2150m and failed at Xmx2050m (step: 50m), so GenShen isn't worse, it's actually better. The reported GenShen failure observation probably came from the Random.
