EpsilonGC and throughput. (original) (raw)

Hi All,

Reading discussions about Epsilon GC and performance I'd rather warn you to do not mix latency and throughput. I agree that it makes sense to talk about latency, but, please, don't expect that you will be able to achieve high throughput with Epsilon GC. Having zero barriers is not enough for this. Just a simple example, I randomly took 9 standard throughput measuring benchmarks and compared Epsilon GC vs G1 and ParallelOld.

Compacting GCs have significant advantage over non-GC in terms of throughput (e.g. https://shipilev.net/jvm-anatomy-park/11-moving-gc-locality/)
