Use the cores to improve performance: I am talking about CPU cores and App performance here :-) Recently we encountered a performance issue for one of the (sort of) legacy Java applications.

The Java garbage collection process uses a mark-and-sweep algorithm. Here’s how that works There are two phases in this algorithm: mark followed by sweep. During the mark phase, the garbage collector ...

The process of identifying and removing garbage is known as garbage collection. Java's garbage collector uses a variety of algorithms to perform garbage collection, including: Mark and sweep: This ...

Common wisdom is to avoid the System.gc() command in code and find other ways to configure the JVM's Java garbage collection algorithms to achieve optimal memory management performance. However, it's ...

Learn how C4’s concurrently compacting garbage collection algorithm helps boost Java scalability for low-latency enterprise Java applications, in this installment of Eva Andreasson’s JVM ...

Garbage collection algorithms There are dozens of algorithms for garbage collection. Let’s look at some of the most important algorithms and their salient characteristics. Reference counting In ...
