Garbage Collector Panel

The Garbage Collector panel (Figure: Garbage Collection Panel) provides information about the garbage collector running with your application.

The default content of the Garbage Collector panel is the following:

• Heuristic: The name that identifies the type of performance for which you have tuned your garbage collector for the latest collection; for example:

  Throughput

• Strategy: A description of the strategy for the latest garbage collection. It identifies whether or not the collector has a nursery and the mark and sweep types; for example:

  Generational Parallel Mark & Sweep, generational=true, sweep=parallel, mark=parallel

  You can change the value for the strategy, which means that you change garbage collection strategy dynamically.

For complete information on garbage collection, see the Garbage Collection in the Oracle JRockit JVM chapter in the Oracle JRockit Performance Tuning Guide on the Oracle Technology Network.
