This collector method uses a fixed fraction of the total number of hardware threads that are available in a program. It usually selects around 5/8 threads for garbage collection out of the total data threads. This fraction may be reduced in special applications to 5/16, which decreases the load that the data collector has to handle, especially in large programs with many threads. ...
