Setting JVM Heap size at runtime




























   To set the JVM heap size, compile the program normally.  For example, consider Runtime.java program.   Compilation: javac Runtime.java  Now, to set minimum heap size(let, 16 MB) required by JVM, run the program as follows :   java -Xms16m Runtime   We can also restrict maximum size(let 512 MB) utilized by JVM:   java -Xmx512m Runtime   Both these options can also be combined to specify upper and lower bounds of JVM heap size:   java -Xms16m -Xmx512m Runtime  Now you can run a program that requires huge computational space.
