Optimizing thread stack size

843811Aug 2 2005 — edited Jan 16 2008
There seems to be general confusion around the actual behaviour of the -Xss option.

I need to optimise the thread stack size on Windows 2000 server running JVM 1.4.2 (07).

1. What is the actual minimum stack size for this JVM ? 1k, 6k, 64k ?

2. Do there exist any mechanism to measure the maximum value actually utilized by a particular application ?


The goal is simply to allocate the appropriate amount of stack space instead of guessing a safe value.
