Memory(Heap) is managed in generations, or memory pools holding objects of different ages. Garbage collection occurs in each generation when the generation fills up. Objects are allocated in a generation for younger objects or the young generation, and because of infant mortality most objects die

Mark, To start, the assignment of 6 gig to maxheap and 2 gig to maxperm is working perfectly. I'll expose my ignorance here and ask about that 80%. Is there some inefficiency in jvm ram assignment in 64 bit in comparison to 32 bit? Is there more overhead in ram assignment? Just wondering what's u

Michael, Rule of thumb is 80% for equivelancy. In other words, a 1.8 gig 64bit is equal to a 1gig 32 bit. Heap. Or you can just multiply times 2 (which is usually what I do). So a 6 gig heap is roughly 3 or more times the size of your 32bit 1 gig heap. If your server is dedicated to CF I think yo
