What we're about
Welcome to the newest virtual home of the Philadelphia Area Java Users’ Group, twice rated by Sun as one of the world’s top Java User Groups! The Philly JUG’s main objective is to provide great learning events for our membership, and if you look at our history we’ve done just that. Over the past fifteen+ years the Philly JUG has done quite a bit of growing up. Very few of you might remember our first meeting, where about 35 members sat on the floor in the office of a long departed dot com. If you have been to a meeting recently you know how far we have come.
Current Philly JugMaster: Jason Young.

Serial, Parallel, G1, Z,... Epsilon?! The JDK comes pre-packaged with several options for the garbage collector, but which to choose? How do you know which to choose? In this presentation, we will understand the tradeoffs between garbage collectors and the comparative strengths and weaknesses of the available garbage collectors. If you have been running into performance issues with your applications in production and looking for possible solutions, or want to learn about garbage collectors, this presentation is for you!
