Java Heap allocation question

Thread view: 
Frank - 19 May 2004 02:51 GMT
I have a general requestion regarding java heap allocation / garbage
collection.

Does the PermSize of the java heap count towards the tenured size?
e.g. if my settings are -Xms100m -XX:NewSize=60m -XX:PermSize=10m ...
is the tenured area of the heap 40 or 30 megs?

Thanks

Scanning Google results suggests that the answer is that the tenured
heap section is 40 megabytes.  The permanent generation is apparently
entirely separate from the standard garbage-collected heap.

But, I can't find anyone who says this straight-out.  I could be wrong.

Thanks, thats also how I interpertted the posts I found on other
sites.

My next question that I'm unable to come to a clear conclusion on is
how the Survivor Spaces work and how their size effects performance.
I don't understand why you would have such a disparity in the size of
eden and the two survivor spaces.  Any ideas?

I don't know, so I'll drop out and hope someone else pops in with this
knowledge.  Anyone?
