Java Virtual Machine
====================
This document gathers technical informations about the Java VM to help
Java/Scala developers tuning their runtime settings on the Java VM.
Java VM Options
----------------
* -Xmx option (maximum heap size)
Heaps larger than 2GB are available starting with J2SE 1.3.1
Default:
-client: 64M (32-bit UNIX and Windows, MacOS X)
-server: 128M (MacOS X, see [vm11])
* -Xms option (initial heap size)
Minimum: 1025K (Linux-i586, Solaris-i586), etc.. (see [vm08])
Default:
-client: 2M (32-bit UNIX and Windows, MacOS X)
-server: 32M (MacOS X, see [vm11])
* -Xss option (thread stack size)
Minimum: 48K (Linux-i586), 64K (Solaris-i586), etc.. (see [vm08])
Default: 256K (32-bit UNIX and Windows)
NB. Stack size under Windows is a link-time setting, so the executable
(java.exe) as created by Sun has this 256K limit built in. Windows
however, has a simple utility to modify the stack space of an
executable (see [vm03]).
In a command window (or Cygwin shell), use the EDITBIN command to
permanently modify the executable (WARNING! Do not reduce the stack
size below 32K, see [vm04])
EDITBIN /STACK:16000000 C:\Path\To\java.exe
Scala Environment Options
-------------------------
* JAVACMD variable (Java command)
Scala default: java (v2.x)
* JAVA_OPTS variable (Java options)
Scala default: -Xmx256M -Xms16M (v2.x)
In the following example, simply replace <jdk> by
"java-1.5", "java-1.6", "java-1.7" or
"java-ibm-1.5" to experiment with different Java VMs:
> env JAVACMD=/home/linuxsoft/apps/<jdk>/bin/java \
JAVA_OPTS="-Xmx256M -Xms16M -Xss128k" \
