# Adaptive Batching

[Adaptive batching](/talon/concepts-and-architecture/transactions.md#adaptive-batching) is configured by setting the engine's `adaptiveCommitBatchCeiling` configuration parameter to a non-zero value. The following illustrates how this is done.

```xml
<apps>
  <app name="MyApp" className="com.foo.MyApp">
    <adaptiveCommitBatchCeiling>32</adaptiveCommitBatchCeiling>
  </app>
</app>
```

The `adaptiveCommitBatchCeiling` is set to 0 by default which disables adaptive batching. Configuring the Talon runtime to optimize for throughput i.e. set `nv.optimizefor=throughput` automatically sets the adaptive batch ceiling is set to 64 unless otherwise explicitly configured otherwise.
