ABSTRACT
Even though garbage collectors are incorporated in many service oriented systems, service performance models typically treat garbage collector overhead as a constant background factor. We use benchmark experiments to show that this treatment can make the service performance models miss performance effects of significant scale, and provides an initial inquiry into the issues related to including a generic garbage collector overhead model as a part of the service performance models.

On the limits of modeling generational garbage collector performance
ICPE '14: Proceedings of the 5th ACM/SPEC international conference on Performance engineeringGarbage collection is an element of many contemporary software platforms whose performance is determined by complex interactions and is therefore difficult to quantify and model. We investigate the difference between the behavior of a real garbage ...
Controlling garbage collection and heap growth to reduce the execution time of Java applications
In systems that support garbage collection, a tension exists between collecting garbage too frequently and not collecting it frequently enough. Garbage collection that occurs too frequently may introduce unnecessary overheads at the risk of not ...
Age-based garbage collection
Modern generational garbage collectors look for garbage among the young objects, because they have high mortality; however, these objects include the very youngest objects, which clearly are still live. We introduce new garbage collection algorithms, ...
