Java Garbage Collection:
How the Zing JVM Eliminates GC Pauses
Zing PGC Cycle (Click to Zoom)
The Zing Java Virtual Machine (JVM) garbage collection algorithm improves performance and removes barriers to Java scalability by eliminating pause times even at very large memory heap sizes. This unique technology, which was part of Azul’s Vega hardware appliances, is now available as part of Zing, an elastic software Java platform for x86 commodity servers. The Zing pauseless garbage collector uses a combination of software techniques and hardware emulation features to support ‘concurrent compaction’ that allows applications to continue processing while remapping memory.
Benefits of Zing Pauseless Garbage Collection
• predictable, consistent garbage collection (GC) behavior
• predictable, consistent application performance and response times
• smoothly scale from 1GB to 1TB memory heap sizes
• unmatched Java application scalability
• greatly simplified deployments with fewer, larger instances
• reduced garbage collection (GC) tuning and JVM tuning
