Garbage Collection (GC) is an integral part of application behavior on Java platforms. Java developers can improve application performance, scalability and reliability by understanding how GC works and by making better garbage collector choices. In this session, Gil Tene (CTO, Azul Systems) will review and classify the various garbage collectors and collection techniques available in JVMs today. Following a quick overview of common garbage collection techniques including generational, parallel, stop-the-world, incremental, concurrent and mostly-concurrent algorithms, we will define terms and metrics common to all collectors.
