lxx.Tomcat 3.55 vs cs.ags.Scarlet 1.1c

Yeah, I was wondering if it were at all possible to limit memory per bot with the Java classloaders... I guess not? It sucks that one of these two bots is probably being punished just for using more memory than average, even though it might still be well short of its fair share of 256 megs.

Though if we used per bot limits in Melee, I wonder if a lot of us would have issues. You can probably get away with far more than your "fair share" of 51 megs in Melee, since you're usually not facing 9 other memory hungry bots.

Yeah, so far as I can tell java classloaders have no control over object initialization.

Well, for melee, do keep in mind that the default heap size in the shell script that launches robocode is larger so it would be more than 51 megs per bot (can't remember exactly what off hand)

I can only think of a dedicated JVM per bot to achieve this kind of limit. This is how it is done in Java clouds out there.

The challenge comes when you try to integrate the JVMs together to calculate battle state and skipped turns.
