Java program is getting slower after running for a while

Question

I have a java program that is a typical machine learning algorithm, updating the values for some parameters by some equations:

for (int iter=0; iter<1000; ite         


        

Answer 1

If the GC time is hundreds of milliseconds as shown in your screenshot then GC is likely not the issue here. I suggest you look into lock contention and possibly IO using a profiler (Netbeans is great). I know you stated your program did very little IO but with profiling (much like debugging) you have to remove all your assumptions and go step by step.
