Usage:
You can set the maximum heap size as a percentage of total memory in a small memory amount environments with:
-XX:MinRAMPercentage=x, where x is the desired percentage of heap memory between 0 and 100 of type double.
Examples:
Will set the max heap size to 15.2654 and 30%:
-XX:MinRAMPercentage=15.2654
-XX:MinRAMPercentage=30.00
Description:
This Oracle HotSpot option, unlike it’s name, can be used to specify the maximum size of the Java heap for JVM running on a small amount of memory as a percentage of the total memory available to the JVM. It sets the maximum amount of memory that the JVM may use for the Java heap before applying ergonomics heuristics as a percentage of the maximum amount determined as described in the -XX:MaxRAM option for small heaps. A small heap is a heap of approximately 125 MB. The default value is 50 percent.
Default Value:
Default value is 50%.
Errors:
Accepts only numeric double values from 0 to 100
