Java7如何决定OSX上分配的堆内存的最大值（-Xmx）

Question

如果没有在OSX捆绑包上指定，Java7如何决定分配的堆内存的最大值（-Xmx），我已经阅读了手册页，它没有给出任何指示。它似乎被分配比默认Java6和我想知道它是否随可用存储器的机器上这将是非常有用的我因为我的应用程序是内存绑定但我不能设置默认太高，因为这样应用程序将无法在较低规格的机器上运行。

来自openjdk源代码的默认堆大小

从源复制评论

  // If the maximum heap size has not been set with -Xmx,
  // then set it as fraction of the size of physical memory,
  // respecting the maximum and minimum sizes of the heap.

分数=4

  product(uintx, MaxRAMFraction, 4,                                         \
          "Maximum fraction (1/n) of real memory used for maximum heap "    \
          "size")                                                           \
                                                                            \
  product(uintx, DefaultMaxRAMFraction, 4,                                  \
          "Maximum fraction (1/n) of real memory used for maximum heap "    \
          "size; deprecated: to be renamed to MaxRAMFraction")              \
