Adaptiveness of adaptive sizing

[Alex Aisinzon]

Jon

I thank you for your feedback. Our apps like memory and we tend to let
them use as much as possible, even at the cost of some infrequent longer
pauses.
Therefore, I do not think that there is an interest in dynamically
managing the size of the generations within their limits.
In that light, I do not want to bother you by asking clarifications on
techniques I will most likely not use.

Regards

Alex,

The adaptive size policy does not currently move space between
the tenured generation and the nursery. Rather the adaptive
size policy grows and shrink each generation within their
specified minimum and maximum sizes to try an achieve a
user specified pause time goal and throughput goal. Given
that fact, are you still interested in more details on how
the adaptive size policy makes it's decisions?
