这些日子要用爪哇语言（Java）做内存数据中心。于是把用 Java 监控运行环境硬件资源的内容复习了一下。爪哇类库提供了 java.util.Runtim 类，主要负责调用爪哇虚拟机（JavaVM）外部的基层操作系统功能、处理基于一种叫钩子的原理的程序、获取系统资源信息以及控制调试信息生成。本文单独利用其获取系统资源信息的功能。
java.util.Runtim 类具有以下几个方法和获取系统资源信息有关。以下代码可不是简简单单从标准类库里边复制出来的哦。全球目前独此一份。
/** * 返回爪哇（Java）虚拟机可用线程数。 * *该值在特定的虚拟机调用期间可能发生更改。因此，对可用处理器数目很敏感的 * 应用程序应该不定期地轮询该属性，并相应地调整其资源用法。
* * @return 虚拟机可用的最大处理器数目；从不小于 1 * @since 1.4 */ public native int availableProcessors(); /** * 返回爪哇（Java）虚拟机中的空闲内存量。调用gc方法可能导致 *freeMemory返回值的增加。 * * @return 供将来分配对象使用的当前可用内存的近似总量，以字节为单位。 */ public native long freeMemory(); /** * 返回爪哇（Java）虚拟机中的内存总量。此方法返回的值可能随时间的推移而变化，这 * 取决于主机环境。 ** 注意，保存一个给定类型的对象所需的内存量可能取决于实现方式。 * * @return 目前为当前和后续对象提供的内存总量，以字节为单位。 */ public native long totalMemory(); // // /** * 返回爪哇（Java）虚拟机能够尝试使用的最大内存量。如果内存本身没有限制，则 * 返回值 {@link java.lang.Long#MAX_VALUE} 。
* * @return 虚拟机能够尝试使用的最大内存量，以字节为单位。 * @since 1.4 */ public native long maxMemory(); /** * 运行垃圾回收器。 * 调用此方法意味着爪哇（Java）虚拟机做了一些努力来回收未用对象，以便能够快速地 * 重用这些对象当前占用的内存。当控制从方法调用中返回时，虚拟机已经尽最大努力回收 * 了所有丢弃的对象。 ** 名称
gc代表“垃圾回收器”。虚拟机根据需要在单独的线程中自动执行 * 回收过程，甚至不用显式调用gc方法。 ** 方法 {@link System#gc()} 是调用此方法的一种传统而便捷的方式 */ public native void gc();
我们可以看到这些都是本地方法。这意味着将 Runtime 对象远程传递之后，将不能得到正确执行结果。
这些方法用起来都很简单，文档注释也写得比较明白。
在高可用数据中心中，我认为应该根据可用 CPU 线数决定程序开启的线程数。此线程数为 CPU 可用线数的某倍数。此倍数应通过实际经验所得。然后程序通过监控 CPU 可用线数，来控制线程池保留数量。
内存的控制，我想应该是在内存超出警戒线时发出警报，以向运营人员申请增加内存数据中心服务器。同时，应该在内存过满之前，由程序执行垃圾回收，以消除并无引用的老生代对象。
如果各位有对内存数据中心的想法、建议或者质疑，欢迎来一起讨论。
下边是我编写的一个系统资源测试程序。程序里边使用了 Runtime 类关于系统资源的所有方法。

我运行这段程序，得到结果报告。通过观察结果报告，我得到了一些新结论。
首先， maxMemory 在一台机器只运行一个爪哇（Java）虚拟机的前提下，一般来说并不会变动。
其次，新生代内存会很快地自动回收，这体现在 freeMemory 总是不断少量自动增加上。
最后，爪哇（Java）虚拟机会在内存不足时，自己申请新的内存。这个内存空间也能够根据报告大概看出一点原则：既不是完全通过可用内存比例，也不是完全通过可用内存数量。
