This series covers various aspects of Java Garbage Collection
Efficient garbage collection (GC) has a significant effect on performance, so it’s important to know how it works. To understand GC, we need to first look at the underlying memory model. This article discusses the components of the Java runtime memor...
What is generational garbage collection (GC)? In broad terms, the GC places objects in memory in different areas, categorized by age. Not all areas are collected on every GC cycle. In this article, we’ll look into this concept in more detail, discuss...
Why does Java have so many different GC algorithms? How do you decide which is best for your application? This article looks at the available Java garbage collection algorithms, and discusses their strengths and weaknesses. How Does Java Garbage Coll...
Java garbage collection tuning is probably one of the fastest and least costly ways of improving Java application performance. But you can’t make good decisions without good information. How do you gain insights into how your Java GC is performing? W...
If you’re having performance issues with your Java application, there’s a good chance that stop-the-world events are contributing to your problem. What are they? Why do they happen? How do you minimize them to get better performance? This article loo...
