gc log analysis tools

[Neo Jia]

Ben,

Which one should be better? lower score or higher score? I assume it
should be higher based on what you said here.

And, what is the relation between score and time? Will the execution
time longer with a low score?

And how many minor GC and full GC in each of your execution? Just grep
and wc them.

For 32-bit and 64-bit machine, at least the default heap layout is
different. Are you trying to use same amount of nursery space and
mature space.

And for 64-bit machine, the Jitter is much more better than 32-bit
machine, a lot of optimization is added.

So ...

Thanks,
Neo

I would remember that if researchers were not ambitious
probably today we haven't the technology we are using!
