On Windows, it's per process. Each process can have about 1.6 G of memory, and they won't fill up memory. (Each process will get swapped out to disk though. That's what virtual memory does.)

I don't know HP-UX but I don't see why it would be different.


I am using default parameters of java, i.e., simply using java
command.


The default parameter is -Xmx64M, at least under Win32. That's really small. You might try passing in -Xmx1G (not much more under Win32, the JVM needs some space too) and see what happens. Your limit is likely to be much higher on a 64 bit os -- I'd try some very large values just to see what happens.
