3. Garbage First Garbage Collector Performance Tuning

Performance engineering deals with the nonfunctional performance requirements of a system or its software and ensures that the design requirements are met in the product implementation. Thus it goes hand-in-hand with systems or software engineering.

In this chapter, we will discuss performance tuning in detail, concentrating on the newest garbage collector in Java HotSpot VM: Garbage First, or G1. We will skip young generation tuning advice already provided in Java™ Performance [1], particularly Chapter 7, “Tuning the JVM, Step by Step.” Readers are encouraged to read that chapter and also the previous chapters in this supplemental book.
