Numa Collectors in Hotspot

[Hohensee, Paul]

The Hotspot GC people may correct me wrt to the following.

See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/vm/performance-enhancements-7.html#numa  for a discussion of UseNUMA for the Parallel collector in JDK8.

For all the other collectors except G1, UseNUMA will interleave each heap space (old gen, eden, survivor spaces) across the NUMA nodes, in an effort to average memory access latencies across the box. G1 doesn’t seem to know about NUMA.

A quick look at the source says that nothing has changed for JDKs 9 and 10.
