MethodCache

String (Multiple or Single)

Multiple

Purpose

The MethodCache parameter specifies whether each JADE process has a separate method cache (the default of multiple) or there is a single method cache for all processes within a node (that is, single).

Hints

The size of each method cache is specified by the MethodCacheLimit parameter. Multiple caches result in faster load and execution of methods, especially on Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) nodes. However, this improved performance is achieved at the expense of an increased usage of physical memory.

For details about obtaining method load time and cache overflow statistics that enable you to analyze the performance of your methods at run time, see "Reporting Profile Statistics", in Chapter 1 of the JADE Runtime Application Guide.
