Hi, I'm not sure you should set the max heap to be 512 either: http://java.sun.com/performance/reference/whitepapers/tuning.html#section4.1.2
A good rule of thumb seems to be max 80% of physical memory, combined for all JVMs running (1 JVM @ 400M, 2 JVMs @ 200M each, etc.) Depending on the tests you intend to run, and the structure of your test plan, you may find that 400M RAM may not be enough. You shold also check out this: http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/usermanual/best-practices.html#lean_mean Regards, Noel ----- "vijayakumar" <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks Noel , > > So Can I set the min size as 128 and max size as 512 as my machine memory > size is 512 .
