In this chapter, we will dive into the world of JVM performance engineering, examining advanced memory management and garbage collection techniques in the OpenJDK Hotspot VM. Our focus will be on the evolution of optimizations and algorithms from JDK 11 to JDK 17.
Automatic memory management in modern OpenJDK is a crucial aspect of the JVM. It empowers developers to leverage optimized algorithms that provide efficient allocation paths and adapt to the applications’ demands. Operating within a managed runtime environment minimizes the chances of memory leaks, dangling pointers, and other memory-related bugs that can be challenging to identify and resolve.
