Garbage Collection - Tuning Guide

Garbage Collection - Tuning Guide

Following on from their earlier Garbage Collection - The Useful Parts talk, Martijn and John return to give the busy Java/JVM developer an insight into how you analyse and resolve common Garbage Collection problems. Using popular applications such as Minecraft, they'll resolve problems such as OutOfMemoryErrors (OOME), long pause times, Premature Promotion and many more!

They'll start by covering how developers should set their GC performance goals & how to get information out of a GC log. Then for a series of common GC issues, they'll show how to interpret the GC log data, tune the JVM in order to meet a stated performance goal, and show the result of that tuning.

This session will give developers some practical guidance for them to start empirically solving GC problems as opposed to guessing!

This talk is best suited for developers who have a basic understanding of Garbage Collection in the JVM (See this talk (http://www.slideshare.net/martijnverburg/garbage-collection-the-useful-parts) to get up to speed).
