Chapter 2. General Tuning Techniques


Abstract

This chapter outlines the tuning techniques that can be used to optimize the performance of either a non-persistent broker or a persistent broker.

2.1. System Environment

Overview

Before discussing how to tune the performance of a Red Hat JBoss A-MQ application, it is worth recalling that performance is also affected by the system environment.

Disk speed

For persistent brokers, disk speed is a significant factor affecting performance. For example, whereas the typical seek time for an ordinary desktop drive is 9ms, the seek time of a high-end server disk could be as little as 3ms. You should also ensure that disks do not become excessively fragmented.

Network performance

For both persistent and non-persistent brokers, the network speed can be a limiting factor. Evidently, there are limits to what can be achieved through JBoss A-MQ tuning, if the underlying network is very slow. One strategy that you can try is to enable compression of large messages (see the section called “Enabling compression”). In this case, it is also important to avoid delays caused by latency; for this reason, it might be a good idea to enable more asynchronous behaviour.

Hardware specification

Relevant aspects of the underlying hardware include the speed and number of CPUs, and the memory available to the broker. In particular, increasing the available memory can bring several performance advantages.
For example, if the broker's entire B-tree message index can fit into memory, this significantly reduces the amount of reading and writing to disk that is required. Also, if some consumers are slow, causing messages to back up in the broker, it can be an advantage to have a large amount of memory available to buffer the pending messages.

Memory available to the JVM

To increase the amount of memory available to a JVM instance, use the -Xmx option. For example, to increase JVM memory to 2048 MB, add -Xmx2048M (or equivalently, -Xmx2G) as a JVM option.
