Better Java garbage collection with IBMs JDK 1.4.0. Incremental Compaction
Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 06/25/2003 09:56 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
This article discusses incremental compaction, a new feature in the memory management component of IBM JDK 1.4.0. Incremental compaction is a way of spreading compaction work across different garbage collection cycles, thereby reducing pause times. The authors discuss the need for incremental compaction, the compaction phases at a high level, and some runtime parameters. They also explain how to interpret changes in the verbosegc output.
