FWIW, I have high hopes for this collector :)

Given the discussion thread with Per and Gil about the
similarities/differences with Azul's C4, I was wondering whether
making ZGC multi-generation has been considered and why it's been
decided to not make it multi-generation, since Azul went from single
to multi generation from Pauseless to C4.

Also, I remember using JRockit's deterministic collector with great
results, so I was wondering if there is (or willing to produce) a
comparison table between the two.

Finally, I'd like to know the plans with regard to JIT integration
with regards to C2 and Graal.
Integrate with both, or only one of them ?

Thanks !
