I was faced with the problem of running our Geppetto MWE2 workflow for the pp parser on a machine with just 2Gb of memory. Just executing the workflow without tuning consumes about 3Gb. I tried various options and finally found one combination that actually reduced the memory requirement with about 50%.

I thought that the time I spent on this might be useful to others so if you have similar problems, try adding these options as vm arguments in the launcher:

-XX:-UseTLAB -XX:-DisableExplicitGC -XX:+UseG1GC

You might also want to specify the max for perm and heap space.

-XX:MaxPermSize=128m -Xmx1536m

Also in my projects I always have to specify the MaxPermSize and the Xmx
