What is Memory tuning: -XX:ThreadStackSize?

Usage:

You can change the java thread stack size with:

-XX:ThreadStackSize=size, where size is one the amount of memory in kilobytes.

Examples:

Will set the thread stack size to 1 megabyte:

-XX:ThreadStackSize=1k

-XX:ThreadStackSize=1024

Description:

Sets the Java thread stack size (in kilobytes). Use of a scaling suffix, such as k, results in the scaling of the kilobytes value so that -XX:ThreadStackSize=1k sets the Java thread stack size to 1024*1024 bytes or 1 megabyte. The default value depends on the platform.

Default Value:

Linux/x64 (64-bit): 1024 KB

macOS (64-bit): 1024 KB

Windows: The default value depends on virtual memory

Errors:

None
