what are the default values these parameters during JVM startup?

the flag Xmx specifies the maximum memory allocation pool for a Java virtual machine (JVM), while Xms specifies the initial memory allocation pool.

Your total heap size must not exceed the amount of physical RAM available. You must leave some physical RAM for other applications to run on your machine. You should set Xms and Xmx to the same value for best performance. These options determine your total heap size

The -Xms value should represent your NORMAL workload, while -Xmx should indicate your upper limits.

Hello, @All, On Windows, you can execute the following command to determine the default settings on the system where your applications operate: java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version | findstr HeapSize You should look for the parameters MaxHeapSize (corresponding to -Xmx) and InitialHeapSize (corresponding to -Xms). For Unix/Linux systems, the command is: java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version | grep HeapSize It is my understanding that the output will be displayed in bytes.

The default values are determined at runtime, depending on the system's configuration. For further details, please refer to HotSpot Ergonomics.

The -Xmx and -Xms options are utilized together to set limits on the heap size in Java. The Java heap size cannot exceed the value specified by -Xmx. Additionally, the -Xms parameter can be designated as the "minimum heap size," allowing for a fixed heap size by equating -Xms to -Xmx.

In essence, the JVM will initiate with the memory specified by Xms and can utilize up to the memory limit set by Xmx. The -Xms option is employed to establish the initial and minimum heap size in Java, while the -Xmx option is used to define the final and maximum heap size in Java.

These command-line parameters in Java are utilized to manage the application's RAM usage:
- -Xmx: to define the maximum heap size
- -Xms: to define the initial Java heap size

The Xmx flag designates the maximum memory allocation pool for the JVM, whereas the Xms flag indicates the initial memory allocation pool.
It is important to note that the Xms flag does not have a default value, while the Xmx flag generally defaults to 256 MB. These flags are particularly useful when addressing a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError.

You may refer to this blog for a comprehensive understanding of XMS and XMX within the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

-xmx and -xms are the parameters used to adjust the heap size.
-Xms:It is used for setting the initial and minimum heap size. It is recommended to set the minimum heap size equivalent to the maximum heap size in order to minimize the garbage collection.
-Xmx: It is used for setting the maximum heap size. The performance will decrease if the max heap value is set lower than the amount of live data. It will force frequent garbage collections in order to free up space.
So, you can say that the JVM will start working with with -Xms amount of memory and further it will be able to use a maximum of -Xmx amount of memory. For example,
java -Xms256m -Xmx2048m
This means, JVM will startup with 256 MB of memory and will allow the process to use up to 2048 MB of memory.
By default, there is no value set for xms, and for xmx its 256MB. You can specify it in multiple formats like kilobytes, megabytes, etc.
-Xmx1024k -Xmx512m -Xmx8g
