JEP 189: Shenandoah: An Ultra-Low-Pause-Time Garbage Collector

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Roman, Christine,

I'm really looking forward to hear your talk about Shenandoah on FOSDEM.

But now that you already asked for questions:

Will you design the new collector with weak memory model architectures
in mind. I know that it is hard if you don't have the corresponding
hardware but I think RedHat should at least have access to some decent
PowerPC machines and I would strongly advise you to test there
thoroughly from the very beginning. We had (and still have) a lot of
problems with G1 on these architectures.

Regards,
Volker
