  • Command line arguments when using the executable jar (jalview-all.jar) or jalview.bin.Launcher
    + If you are using the Jalview standalone executable jar (usually named jalview-all-....jar with a Jalview and Java version designation) or using jalview.bin.Launcher to start Jalview, + then you can set the jvmmempc and jvmmemmax values using application command line arguments -jvmmempc=PERCENT + and -jvmmemmax=MAXMEMORY respectively. PERCENT should be an integer between 1 and 100, and MAXMEMORY should be an amount of memory in bytes, or you can append a "k", "m", "g", or "t" to use units of kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes or terabytes, e.g.
    java -jar jalview-all-2.11.1.0-j1.8.jar -jvmmempc=50 -jvmmemmax=20g
    (this example will launch Jalview with a maximum heap size of the smaller of 20GB or 50% of physical memory detected). +
    The default value for jvmmempc is 90, whilst the default value for jvmmemmax is 32g if Jalview can determine a total physical memory size of the host system, and a more cautious 8g if Jalview is unable to determine a total physical memory size.
