An object is considered garbage when it can no longer be reached from any pointer in the running program. The most straightforward garbage collection algorithms simply iterate over every reachable object. Any objects left over are then considered garbage.

What is AggressiveHeap?
What is AggressiveHeap? The -XX:+AggressiveHeap option inspects the machine resources (size of memory and number of processors) and attempts to set various parameters to be optimal for long-running, memory allocation-intensive jobs. It was originally intended for machines with large amounts of memor... 2013-03-26, 2269👍, 0💬

What are generations in Garbage Collection terminolgy? What is its relevance?
What are generations in Garbage Collection terminolgy? What is its relevance? Garbage Collectors make assumptions about how our application runs. Most common assumption is that an object is most likely to die shortly after it was created: called infant mortality. This assumes that an object that has... 2013-03-22, 2260👍, 0💬

Why Thread is faster compare to process?
Why Thread is faster compare to process? A thread is never faster than a process. If you run a thread(say there's a process which has spawned only one thread) in one JVM and a process in another and that both of them require same resources then both of them would take same time to execute. But, when... 2013-03-21, 2215👍, 0💬

When to Use the Throughput Collector?
When to Use the Throughput Collector? Use the throughput collector when you want to improve the performance of your application with larger numbers of processors. In the default collector garbage collection is done by one thread, and therefore garbage collection adds to the serial execution time of ... 2013-03-25, 2214👍, 0💬

What are class members and Instance members?
What are class members and Instance members? Any global members(Variables, methods etc.) which are static are called as Class level members and those which are non-static are called as Instance level members. 2013-03-19, 2200👍, 0💬

How is static Synchronization different form non-static synchronization?
How is static Synchronization different form non-static synchronization? When Synchronization is applied on a static Member or a static block, the lock is performed on the Class and not on the Object, while in the case of a Non-static block/member, lock is applied on the Object and not on class. [Tr... 2013-03-19, 2175👍, 0💬

What is a Throughput Collector?
What is a Throughput Collector? The throughput collector is a generational collector similar to the default collector but with multiple threads used to do the minor collection. The major collections are essentially the same as with the default collector. By default on a host with N CPUs, the through... 2013-03-25, 2172👍, 0💬
