Garbage Collection Tuning in Java: Techniques, Algorithms, and Best Practices
Authors: RamaKrishna Manchana
Abstract:Garbage Collection (GC) is a critical aspect of Java’s memory management, responsible for automatically reclaiming unused memory and preventing memory leaks. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of GC tuning as of mid-2018, exploring various GC algorithms, their tuning parameters, trade-offs, and monitoring techniques. By understanding GC behavior and leveraging tuning options, developers can enhance application performance and minimize GC overhead.
