G1 Garbage Collector Details and Tuning by Simone Bordet

The G1 Garbage Collector is the low-pause replacement for CMS, available since JDK 7u4. This session will explore in details how the G1 garbage collector works (from region layout, to remembered sets, to refinement threads, etc.), what are its current weaknesses, what command line options you should enable when you use it, and advanced tuning examples extracted from real world applications.

This is a very good talk, I could understand something finally and clearly on G1 and basically Garbage collections. now may be I will be able to understand other talks.

Best talk on G1

[@TimO-lj2uk]

great talk!

[@echo7984]

It is very good.

[@anirudhmenon749]

Brilliant talk! Thanks very much. I think the viewers should be familiar with the Generational Garbage collection before watching this though.

[@abkyabacha]

Hank Azaria (David in Friends, Gargamel in Smurfs) knows a lot about garbage collectors. :)

[@suchen403]

So it sounds like in the last few minutes, if I am still using OpenJDK8, I probably shouldn't be using G1 since I won't be getting the improvements for it in later JDKs.

While explaining the snapshot-at-the-beginning (satb), he mentioned that you can get more detail from a book on GC. Can anyone please point me that book.

[@user-fc7th5rw1z]

th-cam.com/video/Gee7QfoY8ys/w-d-xo.html so hard to understand. You might have a better pictures, which could help explain it more easily

[@user-fc7th5rw1z]

It could have been in the easy format similar to this animation th-cam.com/video/UnaNQgzw4zY/w-d-xo.html

[@joebhomenye]

Garbage collection is a bad design decision that has haunted java throughout its lifetime, The guys at apple figured this out early and quickly replaced garbage collection with Automatic reference counting

[@gzozulin]

GC is basically an elaborate reference counting. The only thing the apple guys did figure is that how they can sell their electronics for exorbitant prices to fanboys for time and time again. Cheers :)

ARC does save some memory and improve predictability
