  • CMS garbage collection
  • Serial garbage collection
  • Parallel garbage collection
  • G1 garbage collection

Let's briefly recap each of these approaches:

  • CMS garbage collection: The CMS garbage collection algorithm scans heap memory using multiple threads. Using this approach, the JVM marks objects for removal and then makes a sweep to actually remove them.
  • Serial garbage collection: This approach uses a thread-freezing schema on a single thread. When the garbage collection is in progress, it freezes all other threads until garbage collection operations have concluded. ...
