Talk Proposal: OpenJDK GCs of Today and Tomorrow

[Roman Kennke]

Title:
OpenJDK GCs of Today and Tomorrow

Abstract:
This talk intends to show a brief overview of the recent improvements in
OpenJDK GCs, what are the problems modern GCs are trying to solve, and
what are the challenges ahead. For example, the need for more concurrent
GCs with compaction; the need for runtime support for concurrent
reference processing and class unloading; the need for more efficient
GCs, even when they fail; the need for GCs that can target denser memory
footprint scenarios, etc. On top, the practical engineering concerns how
to fit all that in a single JVM, multiple backends and compilers.
