Shenandoah GC aims to reduce pause times in Java applications by performing garbage collection concurrently with the application threads. At the heart of Shenandoah's innovation is its region-based memory management. The heap is strategically divided into regions, allowing garbage collection to be conducted independently on these segments. This not only facilitates efficient parallelism but also...

Java Concurrent Mark & Sweep (CMS) algorithm operates by dividing the garbage collection process into multiple phases, concurrently marking and sweeping the memory regions without a significant pause. While its design brings benefits in terms of reduced pause times, it also introduces unique challenges that demand careful tuning and optimization. In this post, we will... Continue Reading →
Tailored for simplicity and effectiveness, the Serial GC operates with a single-threaded approach, making it particularly relevant for smaller-scale applications and scenarios where stringent latency requirements aren't the primary concern. In this post, we will explore techniques to tune Serial GC for enhanced performance specifically. However, if you want to learn more basics, you may... Continue Reading →
When you tune Garbage collection performance, you are not only improving Garbage collection pause time but also the overall application's response time and reducing cloud computing cost. Recently we helped to tune the Garbage collection behavior of a popular application. Just by making a minor change, it resulted in a dramatic improvement. Let's discuss this... Continue Reading →
