VMS Help  —  Sys Parameters, WSMAX
    WSMAX sets the maximum number of pages on a systemwide basis for
    any working set. WSMAX is calculated by AUTOGEN as a quarter of
    the first gigabyte plus a decreasing amount for each additional
    gigabyte up to a maximum value of 3002368 pagelets, like so:

       Memory     WSMAX
       512 MB    262144
         1 GB    524288
         2 GB    768432
         4 GB   1091584
         8 GB   1421312
        16 GB   1763328
        32 GB   2105344
        64 GB   2435072
       128 GB   2740224
       256+ GB  3002368

    Note: Reserved memory is excluded. WSMAX units are pagelets.

    This is intended to assist managers of systems that host large
    numbers of users whose working sets are not large. Systems whose
    user bases consist of a small number of users (or processes)
    that require large amounts of physical memory (for example,
    simulations) might need to set MIN_WSMAX to a value that
    satisfies the requirements of those processes.

    WSMAX has the AUTOGEN, GEN, and MAJOR attributes.
