7.5 Estimating the memory size of the Tenured area in Java heap
This section explains how to estimate the memory size of the Tenured area when using serial GC.
Estimate the memory size of the Tenured area in the following manner:
Memory-size-of-the-Tenured-area = memory-size-required-by-the-application + memory-size-of-the-New-area
Described below is how to calculate the memory size required by the application.
Also describes the reason for adding the memory size of the New area to estimated memory size.
