In your log, you are right.
But I want to ask you whether you ran the above command on the same or 
similar host machine?

I got below message from same kind of machine.

So the ParNew size is 1152K and the initial young size is 1280K(1310720) 
from my log.

FYI, the test machine has 524288 kB of huge page size and I think yours 
has different huge page size.

Thanks,
Sangheon
