-XcompilationThreads

Use this option to specify the number of compilation threads that are used by the JIT compiler.

Syntax

    -XcompilationThreads<n>

where <n> is the number of threads, in the range 1-15 inclusive. Any number outside this range is ignored.

Setting the compilation threads to zero does not disable the JIT compiler. If you want to disable the JIT, use the -Xint option.

Explanation

When multiple compilation threads are used, the JIT might generate several diagnostic log files. A log file is generated for each compilation thread. The naming convention for the log file generated by the first compilation thread uses the following pattern:

<specified_filename>.<date>.<time>.<pid>

The first compilation thread has ID 0. Log files generated by the second and subsequent compilation threads append the ID of the corresponding compilation thread as a suffix to the log file name. The pattern for these log file names is as follows:

<specified_filename>.<date>.<time>.<pid>.<compilation_thread_ID>

For example, the second compilation thread has ID 1. The result is that the corresponding log file name has the form:

<specified_filename>.<date>.<time>.<pid>.1
