Hi Bengt,<br>
<br>
Sure, the application has lots of objects and references.<br>
Downsizing the application has been tried The heap size of 24 g
is <br>
already at minimum. A smaller heap gave OutOfmemory really
quick.<br>
My question was more whether the remark phases could be
optimized<br>
further. I assume this is not the case and we have reached the
limitations <br>
of G1, right? <br>
</blockquote>
<br>
<br>
How many reference objects does the application use? Can you run
it with -XX:+PrintReferenceGC to see how many there are?<br>
<br>
If there are a lot of them I don't think there is much more that
can be done for the remark phase. But if there are not that many I
guess it means that the remark phase is inefficient.<br>
<br>
Have you tried any of the other GCs? How do they behave with this
application?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

OK. Glad it helped some. :)<br>

<br>
Is there some way of reducing the amount of reference objects
that Cacao uses? Does it have cache sizes or similar that can
be tuned. With a JFR recording we might be able to figure out
where the reference objects come from.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Hi Thomas, <br>
<br>
It looks like the application is using a lot of Reference
objects. The time spent in remark is dominated by
reference processing. See the attached graph generated
from the log file you sent. <br>
<br>
You can try to see if adding -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled
improves the situation. <br>
<br>
If the customer is interested in updating their
application they might want to see if they can reduce the
number of java.lang.ref.Reference objects they use. <br>

I've been tuning a Java 7u51, Solaris 10, T4 system with

My customer is not very happy with the remark pauses of

-XX:ParallelGCThreads=48 turned out to be the optimum.
Here is the log file <br>

Any idea to drive the remark stop times further down? <br>
