JDK6 GC Release notes

Here's a couple of pointers to the GC section of the release notes for JDK6.

Parallel Compaction

Concurrent Mark Sweep Collector Enhancements

Edit done May 16, 2007.

Ryan and Tobais, sorry but I just saw your comments. I could not figure out how to reply with a comment (comment period being closed and I didn't want to mess with the settings too much) so I'm editting the blog to respond.

Ryan,

The line "CMS-concurrent-abortable-preclean" does not indicate a problem. The "abortable" only indicates that the current phase (precleaning) can be interrupted in order to start the next phase.

Tobais,

Yes, the UseParallelOldGC does imply UseParallelGC.

Trying the new CMS in 1.6 and it seems to work nicely for a while but then it starts kicking out these CMS aborts. I can find nothing anywhere talking about what is happening. This happens over and over until a full GC happens. From what I can tell the CMS collector never completes and is therefore not doing anything except taking CPU time. CMS: abort preclean due to time 407.606: [CMS-concurrent-abortable-preclean: 0.149/5.058 secs]

Thanks! Could you please clarify if -XX:+UseParallelOldGC still needs a additional switch to enable the parallel GC of Eden or is that option implicit?
