Java8的默认垃圾收集器

Java8的默认垃圾收集器是什么?

当我检查 JMX Beans 时,他们发现它是新一代的并行收集器,而旧一代的串行收集器。

Selecting the default garbage collector (among other things) is what's called the ergonomics process of the JVM. This process depends on the class of your machine.

  • For server-class machine, defined as a machine with 2 or more physical processors and 2 or more GB of physical memory (regardless of the platform), the default garbage collector is the parallel collector (also known as throughput collector).
  • For client-class machine, defined as a 32-bit platform on Windows or a single-processor machine, the default garbage collector is the serial collector.

Since practically all machines have 2 or more CPU, a machine is practically always considered server-class by the JVM. That's why you will find a lot of references considering the parallel collector to be the default garbage collector.

Default garbage collectors:

  • Java 7 - Parallel GC
  • Java 8 - Parallel GC
  • Java 9 - G1 GC
  • Java 10 - G1 GC

Java has four types of garbage collectors(Up to version 10),but after stable release of java 11 , it would be 5 types. These are:-

  1. Serial Garbage Collector- S GC
  2. Parallel Garbage Collector- P GC
  3. CMS Garbage Collector- CMS GC
  4. G1 Garbage Collector- G1 GC
  5. The Z Garbage Collector- ZGC

Default implementations of GC in java -

JVM GC

 Java 7 - P GC
Java 8 - P GC
Java 9 - G1 GC
Java 10- G1 GC
Java 11- Z GC(I am not sure but it would be default GC of java 11)

Note: If you want to verify, which GC is currently being used by JVM,you can go for following command to show default GC:-

$ java -XX:+PrintCommandLineFlags -version

If you want to set GC according to your need, you can do this by following command. Here I am going to set G1 GC as default GC.

$ java -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+PrintCommandLineFlags -version

Since Java 9 until Java 15 the G1GC is the default even on Java 15 which adds two new generation Garbage collectors the one that Oracle develop ZGC and a red hat implementation which is Shenandoah both are production ready in Java 15 september of 2020. ZGC is available on OPEN JDK https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/zgc/Main
