You should not unless you have to
How do I tell I have to? -verbose:gc -Xloggc:<filename> -XX:+PrintGCDetails
-XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution -XX:+PrintGCApplicationConcurrentTime -XX:+PrintGCApplicationStoppedTime
Yes, now you have to time since start: [Full] GC
heap_taken_before_GC -> heap_taken_after_GC (total heap size) pause in seconds 29422.361: [Full GC 1704272K->1175099K(1781760K), 5.2196310 secs] 29427.588: [GC 1176939K(1781760K), 0.0135230 secs] 29430.034: [Full GC 1651801K->1239586K(1781760K), 5.3722150 secs] 29435.591: [Full GC 1411504K->1196906K(1781760K), 5.3212200 secs]
What now? Add more memory to the heap before doing
any GC tuning.
Pro tips • Have a realistic stress test • Diagnose
if the problem is GC-related • Define your performance goals
What to optimize? • Throughput • Latency • Memory
Available collectors • Serial • Parallel • CMS (+ parallel
new) • G1 • experimental in late Java 6, available in Java 7
The heap
Perm gen • Perm gen does not count to heap
size • Perm gen is gone since Java 8
JVM defaults if CPUs >= 2 && memory >= 2GiB
server else client
Client and server classes Machine Heap size GC Client ???
Serial Server Initial: memory / 64 Max: MIN(memory / 4, 1GiB) Parallel Source: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/gc-tuning-6-140523.html#par_gc.ergonomics.default_size
