G1 collector

This is the new collector, introduced in JDK 7 update 4. The G1 collector is designed for an application willing to allocate heap memory of more than 4 GB. G1 divides the heap into multiple regions, spanning from 1 MB to 32 MB, depending on the heap we configure and uses multiple background threads to scan through the heap regions. The benefit of dividing the heap into multiple regions is that G1 will scan through regions where there is plenty of garbage first in order to meet a given pause time.

G1 reduces the change of low-heap availability before the background threads have finished scanning for unused objects. This reduced the chances to STW. G1 compacts the heap on-the-go, unlike CMS, which does this during STW.
