Class RamUsageEstimator


  • public final class RamUsageEstimator
    extends Object
    Estimates the size (memory representation) of Java objects.

    This class uses assumptions that were discovered for the Hotspot virtual machine. If you use a non-OpenJDK/Oracle-based JVM, the measurements may be slightly wrong.

    See Also:
    shallowSizeOf(Object), shallowSizeOfInstance(Class)
    NOTE: This API is for internal purposes only and might change in incompatible ways in the next release.

        Constant Field Values
      • COMPRESSED_REFS_ENABLED

        public static final boolean COMPRESSED_REFS_ENABLED
        True, iff compressed references (oops) are enabled by this JVM
      • NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_REF

        public static final int NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_REF
        Number of bytes this JVM uses to represent an object reference.
      • NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_HEADER

        public static final int NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_HEADER
        Number of bytes to represent an object header (no fields, no alignments).
      • NUM_BYTES_ARRAY_HEADER

        public static final int NUM_BYTES_ARRAY_HEADER
        Number of bytes to represent an array header (no content, but with alignments).
      • NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_ALIGNMENT

        public static final int NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_ALIGNMENT
        A constant specifying the object alignment boundary inside the JVM. Objects will always take a full multiple of this constant, possibly wasting some space.
    • Method Detail

      • alignObjectSize

        public static long alignObjectSize​(long size)
        Aligns an object size to be the next multiple of NUM_BYTES_OBJECT_ALIGNMENT.
      • sizeOf

        public static long sizeOf​(Long value)
        Return the size of the provided Long object, returning 0 if it is cached by the JVM and its shallow size otherwise.
      • sizeOf

        public static long sizeOf​(byte[] arr)
        Returns the size in bytes of the byte[] object.
      • sizeOf

        public static long sizeOf​(boolean[] arr)
        Returns the size in bytes of the boolean[] object.
      • sizeOf

        public static long sizeOf​(char[] arr)
        Returns the size in bytes of the char[] object.
      • sizeOf

        public static long sizeOf​(short[] arr)
        Returns the size in bytes of the short[] object.
      • sizeOf

        public static long sizeOf​(int[] arr)
        Returns the size in bytes of the int[] object.
      • sizeOf

        public static long sizeOf​(float[] arr)
        Returns the size in bytes of the float[] object.
      • sizeOf

        public static long sizeOf​(long[] arr)
        Returns the size in bytes of the long[] object.
      • sizeOf

        public static long sizeOf​(double[] arr)
        Returns the size in bytes of the double[] object.
      • shallowSizeOf

        public static long shallowSizeOf​(Object[] arr)
        Returns the shallow size in bytes of the Object[] object.
      • shallowSizeOf

        public static long shallowSizeOf​(Object obj)
        Estimates a "shallow" memory usage of the given object. For arrays, this will be the memory taken by array storage (no subreferences will be followed). For objects, this will be the memory taken by the fields. JVM object alignments are also applied.
      • shallowSizeOfInstance

        public static long shallowSizeOfInstance​(Class<?> clazz)
        Returns the shallow instance size in bytes an instance of the given class would occupy. This works with all conventional classes and primitive types, but not with arrays (the size then depends on the number of elements and varies from object to object).
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if clazz is an array class.
        See Also:
        shallowSizeOf(Object)
      • humanReadableUnits

        public static String humanReadableUnits​(long bytes)
        Returns size in human-readable units (GB, MB, KB or bytes).
      • humanReadableUnits

        public static String humanReadableUnits​(long bytes,
                                                DecimalFormat df)
        Returns size in human-readable units (GB, MB, KB or bytes).
