how to set nodejs v8 options to perform well?

Question

I learned that if I'm running NodeJs and other softwares(imagemagick...) on small memory machine

I can run node --global_gc your_script.js

and I'm not going to get OOME

---

I see many options when I run node --v8-options

but I can't find any document?

Is there any important options I should be aware of to scale my Nodejs?

Answer 1

The flag is called --gc-global or --gc_global, not --global_gc.
