Thanks for all of your replies. First of all, I was really just looking for the whys rather than any particular recommendation on what values to set these params to. As far as the permanent generation being part of the heap, I have been able to verify that the permenent generation (i.e.

I believe Dave is correct that permgen is part of the heap. As is the oldgen and newgen, if memory serves. As for limits, I've had difficulty setting a max heap size over 1024 while still being able to restart the CF server on Windows. I can't even reach 1.5 gb. The way it was once explained

MaxHeapSize + MaxPermSize

2006-05-20 Thread Dante Orlando
How large can the sum of the maximum heap size (-Xmx) and the maximum permanent generation size (-XX:MaxPermSize) be for a JRun/CF process on Windows? I'm aware of the 2GB limit for jvm processes on Windows, but I would have thought that I could set max heap and max perm to any combination as long

Dante, I'm pretty sure that MaxPermSize is actually *part* of the heap size - it's just a cap on the permanent generation space in the heap (as the name suggests). Regardless, for CF on Windows (assuming the box has more than 2gb of ram), I would keep Xmx=1024m and -XX:MaxPermSize=192m.
