Java applications get considerable support from JVM in managing the runtime performance of applications. First and most differentiating thing in Java, as compared to other languages, is garbage collection (GC). Developer of an application does not need to worry about the memory clean up in general, leaving the developer to focus on functional part of the application mainly. In addition to the default features, there are many configurable parameters which can be used to tune the JVM to make the application perform better. These parameters are also dependent on the …

Garbage collection, something not to worry, sometime to worry a lot. A novice Java developer starts writing first code without worrying a bit about memory utilized by the program. There is always this, I would say wrong notion, that garbage collector is there to clean up any memory consumed. But when the application runs out of memory, then the developer starts cursing Java for in-efficient memory management. Is Java the culprit? Or it is the memory consumption by the program is problem. In this article we identify ten important points, …
