I was writing code to calculate prime numbers within which I was using a BitSet
.
When executing:
int count = 1_500_000_000; // 1.5 billion
BitSet bitSet = new BitSet(count);
I get the exception java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
In my small world a BitSet
that holds 1.5 billion entrys should roughly use:
1500000000 / 1024 / 1024 / 8 ~= 180
megabytes of memory.
Even though I'm creating a 32-Bit program these numbers should be nowhere near any limits should they?
