Specifies the maximum amount of memory in bytes that the Java™ NIO library can
allocate for direct memory buffers. The default is 64 megabytes, which corresponds to
-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize=64m. The use of direct memory buffers can minimize
the copying cost when doing I/O operations.
-XX:MaxNewSize=<size>
Sets the maximum size of new generation (in bytes). The arguments can now be followed
by either 'k' or 'm' to specify KB or MB. For 1.2, specify KB only. Not supported in 1.3.
-XX:MaxPermSize=<size>
Sets the maximum size of permanent generation (in bytes). Append the letter k or K
to indicate kilobytes, or m or M to indicate megabytes. For example,
-XX:MaxPermSize=32m specifies a value of 32MBytes for MaxPermSize (Note that
in SDK 1.2.2, this option took an integer that specified a value in kbytes only).
Default: 64MB
-XX:PermSize=<size>
Specifies the initial size, in bytes, of the Permanent Space memory allocation pool. This
value must be a multiple of 1024 greater than 1MB. Append the letter k or K to indicate
kilobytes, or m or M to indicate megabytes.
-XX:PermSize=6291456
Examples:
-XX:PermSize=6144k
-XX:PermSize=6m
-XX:PermSize=16m (1.4 and later)
Default:
-XX:NewSize=<size>
Sets the default size, in bytes, of new generation. Append the letter k or K to indicate
kilobytes, or m or M to indicate megabytes. (For 1.2, specify KB only). Not supported
in 1.3.
-XX:NewSizeThreadIncrease=<size>
Sets the additional size, in bytes, added to desired new generation size per non-daemon
thread. (Note that in SDK 1.2.2, this option took an integer that specified a value in
kbytes only).
-XX:-NoHandoff (version 1.3 and later)
XX:-NoHandoff works in conjunction with the new functionality added in HP-UX
11.11 HP-UX patch PHCO_25226. In HP-UX 11.22 and later, this option has less impact
than for HP-UX 11.11.
-XX:PrefetchCopyIntervalInBytes=n
Prefetch n bytes ahead for scavenge copy destination area. The default is 0. The ideal
value may vary depending on the processor.
