java-programmer, Parallel GC in 1.4.2 Just a quick question concerning ParallelGC. Since ParallelGC uses the
UseAdaptiveSizePolicy to figure out the parameters (it will bark if you
try to set the -ms parameter) is it necessary or even desired to set the
-mx parameter? Is there a limit in this mode? What happens if you have
2 JVMs running on the same box and neither specifies the -mx parameter?
Is the default used or does the JVM compute it or do the JVMs try to
get as much as they can starving each other out?
