I believe that is "ergonomics" in reference to "HotSpot is an "ergonomic" JVM. Based upon the platform configuration, it will select a compiler, Java heap configuration, and garbage collector that produce good to excellent performance for most applications." [1]. HotSpot attempts to automatically select the server VM for "server-class" machines -- "For Java SE 6, the definition of a server-class machine is one with at least 2 CPUs and at least 2GB of physical memory." [2].
