Abstract
The
mostly concurrent garbage collection
was presented in the seminal paper of Boehm et al. With the deployment of Java as a portable, secure and concurrent programming language, the mostly concurrent garbage collector turned out to be an excellent solution for Java's garbage collection task. The use of this collector is reported for several modern production Java Virtual Machines and it has been investigated further in academia.In this paper, we present a modification of the mostly concurrent collector, which improves the throughput, the memory footprint, and the cache behavior of the collector without foiling the other good qualities (such as short pauses and high scalability). We implemented our solution on the IBM production JVM and obtained a performance improvement of up to 26.7%, a reduction in the heap consumption by up to 13.4%, and no substantial change in the (short) pause times. The modified algorithm was subsequently incorporated into the IBM production JVM.
