I can definitely add an additional bool flag to turn it on or off. I think it will also make sense to make it manageable so that we can switch the auto-tuning on / off dynamically, if necessary.</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;"><br></div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">Tony</div> <br><p class="airmail_on" style="color:#000;">On June 17, 2015 at 9:46:16 PM, Jon Masamitsu (<a href="mailto:jon.masamitsu@oracle.com">jon.masamitsu@oracle.com</a>) wrote:</p> <blockquote type="cite" class="clean_bq"><span><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><div></div><div>

I'm still studying the patch but would you consider a more
explicit<br>
flag to turn this on and off? What you have is very
reasonable but<br>
if the performance team sees some regression, it would be
easier<br>
for them to turn the feature on or off rather than go look for the
value<br>
of <span class="new">ParGCCardsPerStrideChunk</span> that is the
default and then put that<br>
on the command line. Same would be true for a customer who
has<br>
an application operating in one of the corners where the
performance<br>
is worse.<br>

(BTW, for some reason some of the webrev output is a bit messed up.
Not sure why, maybe some hg incompatibility I guess. The diffs look
OK though. I also attached the patch to this e-mail.)</div>

patch:</div>

The min / max values for the old gen capacity
and ParGCCardsPerStrideChunk were chosen empircally after
running a few (mostly synthetic tests) on Linux x64. If someone has
the cycles to do a more extensive performance study, I’d be happy
to revise them accordingly.</div>
