I am running a multithreaded Java Propreitary application on VMWare with 2 processors. My application is getting errored out randomly , which i debugged is because it tries to execute a program snippet before its prerequisite program snippet completes its job.
I do not get any of these errors when I run the Virtual machine with one processor.
I have stumbled upon a discussion in this community
http://communities.vmware.com/message/399924;jsessionid=6AA155B8D74D1F62BE0F1F48A73B095E
In post 3 , it is mentioned that "Try setting memory shares to 'High'. *There appears to be some
sensitivity in the Linux kernel to expecting more rapid memory timing
than some of the latency that creeps into the virtualization*. Setting
the shares to 'high' alleviates this somewhat.
There is an open SR on this and I do believe it is a high priority for
VMware to work out with the Linux Kernel folks. I do believe it needs
to be resolved at the kernel level, though."
could this be the cause of my problem ?
Is there a resolution/ workaround for this problem?
Any pointers/ tips would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
