Java Garbage Collection remains a topic of major interest even after 25 years. Many developers are still confused about the fundamentals of the topic, even of the most widely-used implementation ...

Oshkosh Corporation, the Wisconsin-based manufacturer best known for military and heavy-duty trucks, recently unveiled HARR-E ...

In order to understand garbage collection and the various GC approaches and algorithms, you must first know a few things about the Java platform’s memory model.

That project, which turned into an experimental feature of JRockit and laid ground for the Deterministic Garbage Collection algorithm, started my journey through JVM technology.

Object Lifetimes Garbage collection algorithms are often optimized with the expectation that most objects live for a very short period of time, while relatively few live for very long.

This is where garbage collection and other algorithms are specifically designed to restore performance, but the researchers report that garbage collection runs into problems precisely because of ...
