GOAL:
What do ms mx mean in JVM startup?
FACT(s) (Environment):
ms and mx are JVM startup parameters that set JVM's heap size
-Xms<size> set initial Java heap size
-Xmx<size> set maximum Java heap size
These switches affect frequency of JVM's garbage collection, for example, when more agents are added, more server threads have to be spawned, thus bigger heap size is needed.
