Hello,
I develop an Eclipse RCP application and i use EMF Compare to compare ecore files into this application. But i must compare very large ecore files (between 10Mo and 20Mo), and when those files are larger than 10Mo the comparaison has never end. To optimize a little the comparaison, i use this code to launch comparaison (found in FAQ EMF Compare) :
EObject model2 = ModelUtils.load(origine, resourceSet);
EObject model1 = ModelUtils.load(modif, resourceSet);
MatchModel match = MatchService.doMatch(model1, model2, Collections.<String, Object> emptyMap());
DiffModel diff = DiffService.doDiff(match, false);
With the DiffModel, i can obtains all differences and generate a report. I want optimize EMF Compare for compare my large files. I read an other topic (http:// www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=167686&sta rt=0&) and i think the IDs system can help me to optimize the comparaison, but i don't understand how IDs are determinate. (for example, if i generate 2 same ecore, have it the same IDs ?)

Please, can anybody explain me the ID system in ecore files? or give me a hint to solve this problem ?

Thanks a lot,

Maxime

Hi Maxime,

Please use the EMF newsgroup for questions about EMF Compare.

That being said, I don't think that comparing through IDs will help in
any way : if your comparison "never ends" it mostly is a memory issue.
ID comparison only helps with time performances. As for size, we
successfully used EMF Compare with models of a size > 250Mo, so 10Mo
seems "small" even if you use a greatly compressed format.

I only see two things you can do; first things first : use the 1.1
version of EMF Compare if you are not already, we greatly improved the
performances.

Other than that, you could increase the memory settings of your Eclipse
(I usually use -Xmx512m and -XX:MaxPermSize=256m in the eclipse.ini file).

If none of these helps, could you provide us with the problematic
models? There might be something specific we do not handle well.

Hi Laurent,

Thanks a lot for your answer.

My version of EMF Compare was 1.0.1, i installed 1.1 and this new version is more effecient. The comparison is faster. I increase the memory settings of Eclipse too like you said me. Now i can use the graphical comparison (i don't use code to launch comparison).

Now my very long comparison (with my 20mo files and with many differences between us) takes 5 min. Do you think it's a normal time ? I observe too when i run the same comparison a second time, the second comparison is slower than the first. Is it a normal thing ?

Thanks a lot,

Maxime

I didn't understand that you were using graphical comparison. That
invalidates my mentionning of the files greater than 250mo, these
comparisons were "classic" comparisons.

Comparison times greatly depend on the models/diagrams being compared :
whether they're flat or deeply hierarchic, the number of other resources
they depend on... 5 minutes seem rather long, but I don't really know
standard comparison times for diagrams.

Doesn't seem normal to me; it might on the contrary denote a memory leak
:/. Do your memory usage / comparison time increase on each comparison?
