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].
