| <h1 id="garbage-collection">Garbage collection</h1> |
| <p>The process of managing memory in the VM is handled by the Allocator and the Garbage Collector (GC). These components operate on |
| an area of memory that is reserved for VM processing called the Java heap. The Allocator assigns areas of the Java heap |
| for Java objects. Objects are considered as <em>live</em> when they have a chain of references to them that start from root references, |
| such as those found in thread stacks. When that reference or pointer no longer exists, the objects are considered as <em>garbage</em>. The role of the Garbage Collector is to manage the storage in the Java heap and reclaim memory by removing garbage.</p> |
| <h2 id="the-allocator">The Allocator</h2> |
| <p>The Allocator is a component of memory management that is typically overshadowed by the task of garbage collection. However, |
| it is a critical, if not small part, of the overall process. The Allocator manages pools of free memory and how the free memory |
| is consumed. It is also responsible for allocating areas of storage in the Java heap for objects at the request of applications, |
| class libraries, or the VM. Every allocation requires a <em>heap lock</em> to stop concurrent threads trying to access the same area of memory at the same time. When an object is allocated, the heap lock is released. If there is insufficient space to allocate the object, allocation fails, the heap lock is released, and the GC is called. If the GC manages to recover some space on the heap, the Allocator can resume operations. If the GC does not |
| recover enough space, it returns an <code>OutOfMemoryError</code> exception.</p> |
| <p>Acquiring a heap lock for every allocation would be an intensive operation with a knock on impact to performance. To get around this |
| problem, small objects are allocated to thread local heaps (TLH).</p> |
| <h3 id="thread-local-heaps-tlh">Thread local heaps (TLH)</h3> |
| <p>To improve performance, allocation caches are reserved in the heap for different threads. These allocation caches are known as |
| thread local heaps (TLH) and allow each thread to allocate memory from its cache without acquiring the heap lock. A TLH is typically |
| used for small objects of less than 512 bytes (768 bytes on 64-bit VMs) although larger objects can be allocated from the cache if |
| there is sufficient space.</p> |
| <p>If a thread allocates a lot of objects, the allocator gives that thread a larger TLH to reduce contention on the heap lock.</p> |
| <p>A TLH is predefined with an initial default size of 2 KB. On every TLH refresh, the requested size for that thread |
| is increased by an increment (default 4 KB). The requested size can grow up to a predefined maximum (default 128 KB).</p> |
| <p>After every GC cycle, the TLH requested size for each thread is reduced, sometimes by as much as 50%, to take account of threads that |
| reduce their allocation rate and no longer need large TLHs.</p> |
| <p>For very inactive threads, the requested size can even drop below the initial value, down to the predefined minimum (512/768 bytes). |
| For very active threads, the maximum TLH requested size might be reached before the next GC occurs.</p> |
| <p>Larger TLHs can help reduce heap lock contention, but might also reduce heap utilisation and increase heap fragmentation.</p> |
| <p>The following options control the requested TLH size:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="../xgc/#tlhmaximumsize"><code>-Xgc:tlhMaximumSize=<bytes></code></a></li> |
| <li><a href="../xgc/#tlhinitialsize"><code>-Xgc:tlhInitialSize=<bytes></code></a></li> |
| <li><a href="../xgc/#tlhincrementsize"><code>-Xgc:tlhIncrementSize=<bytes></code></a></li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Typically, when the maximum TLH size is increased, you should also increase the increment proportionally, so that active threads can |
| reach the maximum requested TLH size more quickly.</p> |
| <h2 id="garbage-collection_1">Garbage collection</h2> |
| <p>To prevent applications running out of memory, objects in the Java heap that are no longer required must be reclaimed. This process is known as garbage collection (GC). When garbage is collected, the garbage collector must obtain exclusive access to the heap, which causes an application to pause while the clean up is done. This pause is often referred to as a <em>stop-the-world</em> pause because an application must halt until the process completes. In general, the first step in the GC process is to mark the objects that are reachable, which means they are still in use. The next step is to sweep away the unmarked objects to reclaim memory. The last step, which isn't always required unless the heap has become very fragmented, is to compact the heap.</p> |
| <p>Eclipse OpenJ9 has a number of GC policies designed around different types of applications and workloads. Picking the right policy very much depends on your usage and performance goals.</p> |
| <h3 id="generational-concurrent-policy">Generational Concurrent policy</h3> |
| <p>If you have a transactional application, with many short lived objects, the Generational Concurrent (<code>-Xgcpolicy:gencon</code>) GC policy is probably best suited, which aims to minimize GC pause times without compromising throughput. This is the default policy employed by the VM, so if you want to use it you don't need to specify it on the command line when you start your application.</p> |
| <p>With the <code>gencon</code> policy, the Java heap is divided into two main areas, the <em>nursery</em> area, where new objects are created and the <em>tenure</em> area, where objects are moved if they have reached <em>tenure age</em>.</p> |
| <p>The <em>nursery</em> area is subdivided into two further areas, the <em>allocate</em> space and the <em>survivor</em> space. The GC process is illustrated in the following diagram, which shows a sequence of 4 main events:</p> |
| <p><img alt="The diagram is explained in the surrounding text" src="../cr/gencon_java_heap.jpg" title="Object allocation" /></p> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Objects are created in the <em>allocate</em> space.</li> |
| <li>The <em>allocate</em> space is full.</li> |
| <li>A local GC scavenge process runs and reachable objects are either copied into the <em>survivor</em> space or into the <em>tenure</em> area if they have reached <em>tenure age</em>. Any objects that can't be reached are left untouched and subsequently cleared.</li> |
| <li>The <em>allocate</em> and <em>survivor</em> spaces swap roles. The original <em>survivor</em> space becomes the <em>allocate</em> space where new objects are created, and the original <em>allocate</em> space becomes the <em>survivor</em> space ready for the next local GC scavenge process.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>The relative sizes of the <em>allocate</em> and <em>survivor</em> spaces are dynamically adjusted by a technique called <em>tilting</em>. When the <em>nursery</em> area is first created, it is evenly divided between the <em>allocate</em> and <em>survivor</em> spaces. If, after a GC scavenge process is run, the amount of space required for the <em>survivor</em> area is comparatively small, the boundary between the two spaces is adjusted by <em>tilting</em>. For example, if the <em>survivor</em> space requires only 10% of the <em>nursery</em> area, the <em>tilt ratio</em> is adjusted to give 90% of the <em>nursery</em> area to the <em>allocate</em> space. With more space available for new objects, garbage collection can be delayed.</p> |
| <p>The <em>tenure age</em> of an object is determined by the VM and reflects the number of times that an object has been copied between the <em>allocate</em> space and the <em>survivor</em> space. The age is in the range 1 - 14 and is adjusted dynamically by the VM depending on the overall amount of space that is used in the <em>nursery area</em>. For example, if an object has a tenure age of 5, it has been copied backwards and forwards between <em>allocate</em> and <em>survivor</em> spaces 5 times. If the VM sets a <em>tenure age</em> of 5 based on the percentage of space remaining in the <em>nursery</em> area, the next scavenge moves the object from the <em>nursery</em> to the <em>tenure</em> area. You can set an initial <em>tenure age</em> with the <a href="../xgc/#scvtenureage"><code>-Xgc:scvTenureAge</code></a> option. You can also prevent the VM dynamically adjusting the <em>tenure age</em> by setting the <a href="../xgc/#scvnoadaptivetenure"><code>Xgc:scvNoAdaptiveTenure</code></a> option so that the intial age is maintained throughout the run time of the VM.</p> |
| <p>Within the <em>tenure</em> area, new objects are allocated into the small object area (SOA), which is illustrated in the earlier diagram (see 3.). A large object area (LOA) is set aside for objects greater than 64 KB that cannot be allocated into the SOA to minimize fragmentation. The LOA is allocated by default but is reduced and removed after a few GC cycles if it isn't populated. To prevent the creation of an LOA, you can specify the <a href="../xloa/"><code>-Xnoloa</code></a> option on the command line when you start your application. When the <em>tenure</em> area is close to full a global GC is triggered.</p> |
| <p>The local GC scavenge reduces pause times by freqently reclaiming memory in the <em>nursery</em> area which, for a transactional application with many short-lived objects, has the most recyclable space. However, over time the <em>tenure</em> area might become full. So, whilst a local GC scavenge process is operating on the <em>nursery</em> area, a concurrent global GC process also runs alongside normal program execution to mark and remove unreachable objects from the <em>tenure</em> area. These two GC approaches combine to provide a good trade-off between shorter pause times and consistent throughput.</p> |
| <p>A special mode of the <code>gencon</code> policy is known as <em>Concurrent Scavenge</em> (<code>-Xgc:concurrentScavenge</code>), which aims to minimize the time spent in stop-the-world pauses by collecting nursery garbage in parallel with running application threads. This mode can be enabled with hardware-based support and software-based support.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| <p><strong>Hardware-based support: (Linux on IBM Z® and z/OS®)</strong> This mode works on the IBM z14™ mainframe system with the Guarded Storage (GS) Facility. The GS Facility provides hardware-based support to detect when potentially stale references to objects are accessed by an application. This means that the garbage collector can start processing objects in parts of the heap without halting an application because the GS Facility is on hand to spot accesses to an object and send a notification. The object that was ready to be swept away can be moved, and references to it can be reset. You can read more about this mode in the following blog posts:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="https://developer.ibm.com/javasdk/2017/09/18/reducing-garbage-collection-pause-times-concurrent-scavenge-guarded-storage-facility/">Reducing Garbage Collection pause times with Concurrent Scavenge and the Guarded Storage Facility</a></li> |
| <li><a href="https://developer.ibm.com/javasdk/2017/09/25/concurrent-scavenge-using-guarded-storage-facility-works/">How Concurrent Scavenge using the Guarded Storage Facility Works</a></li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| <p><strong>Software-based support: (Linux on x86-64, Linux on POWER LE, AIX® on POWER®)</strong> With software-based support, <em>Concurrent Scavenge</em> can be enabled without any pre-requisite hardware although the performance throughput is not as good as hardware-based support.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>For more information about enabling Concurrent Scavenge, see the <a href="../xgc/#concurrentscavenge">-Xgc:concurrentScavenge</a> option.</p> |
| <h3 id="other-policies">Other policies</h3> |
| <p>OpenJ9 has the following alternative GC policies:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>-Xgcpolicy:balanced</code> divides the Java heap into regions, which are individually managed to reduce the maximum pause time on large heaps and increase the efficiency of garbage collection. The aim of the policy is to avoid global collections by matching object allocation and survival rates. If you have problems with application pause times that are caused by global garbage collections, particularly compactions, this policy might improve application performance, particularly on large systems that have Non-Uniform Memory Architecture (NUMA) characteristics (x86 and POWER platforms).</li> |
| <li><code>-Xgcpolicy:metronome</code> is designed for applications that require precise response times. Garbage collection occurs in small interruptible steps to avoid stop-the-world pauses. This policy is available only on x86 Linux and AIX platforms.</li> |
| <li><code>-Xgcpolicy:optavgpause</code> uses concurrent mark and sweep phases, which means that pause times are reduced when compared to optthruput, but at the expense of some performance throughput.</li> |
| <li><code>-Xgcpolicy:optthruput</code> is optimized for throughput by disabling the concurrent mark phase, which means that applications will stop for long pauses while garbage collection takes place. You might consider using this policy when high application throughput, rather than short garbage collection pauses, is the main performance goal.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>For more information about these garbage collection policies and options, see <a href="../xgcpolicy/">-Xgcpolicy</a>.</p> |
| <h2 id="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</h2> |
| <p>You can diagnose problems with garbage collection operations by turning on verbose garbage collection logging. By default, the information is printed to STDERR but can be redirected to a file by specifying the <code>-Xverbosegclog</code> option. The log files contain detailed information about all operations, including initialization, stop-the-world processing, finalization, reference processing, and allocation failures. For more information, see <a href="https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYKE2_8.0.0/com.ibm.java.vm.80.doc/docs/mm_gc_pd_verbosegc.html">Verbose garbage collection</a></p> |
| <p>If verbose logs do not provide enough information to help you diagnose GC problems, you can use GC trace to analyze operations at a more granular level. For more information, see <a href="../xtgc/">-Xtgc</a>.</p> |
