Application-specific garbage collection
Prior work, including our own, shows that application performance in garbage collected languages is highly dependent upon the application behavior and on underlying resource availability. We show that given a wide range of diverse garbage collection (GC) algorithms, no single system performs best across programs and heap sizes. We present a Java Virtual Machine extension for dynamic and automat...
متن کاملGarbage Collection for Large Memory JAVA Applications
The possible applications of Java range from small applets to large, data-intensive scientiic applications allocating memory in the multi-gigabyte range. As a consequence copying garbage collectors can not fullll the requirements, as large objects can not be copied eeciently. We analyze the allocation patterns and object lifespans for diierent Java applications and present garbage collection te...
متن کاملTuning Java Garbage Collection for Spark Applications
Spark is gaining wide industry adoption due to its superior performance, simple interfaces, and a rich library for analysis and calculation. Like many projects in the big data ecosystem, Spark runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Because Spark can store large amounts of data in memory, it has a major reliance on Java’s memory management and garbage collection (GC). New initiatives like Proje...
متن کاملAdaptive, Application-Specific Garbage Collection
In this paper, we describe a novel execution environment that can dynamically switch between garbage collection systems. As such, it enables selection of the most appropriate allocator and collector for a given application and underlying resource availability. Our system is novel in that it is able to switch between a wide range of diverse collection systems. It uses program annotations to guid...
متن کاملAS-GC: An Efficient Generational Garbage Collector for Java Application Servers
A generational collection strategy utilizing a single nursery cannot efficiently manage objects in application servers due to variance in their lifespans. In this paper, we introduce an optimization technique designed for application servers that exploits an observation that remotable objects are commonly used as gateways for client requests. Objects instantiated as part of these requests (remo...
