> After studying large numbers of GC logs with degenerated cycles that have resulted from "late" triggers, we propose the following general improvements:
>
> 1. Track trends in GC times rather than always using the average GC time plus standard deviation. In many situations, GC times trend upward due to, for example, increasing amounts of live data that must be marked as a workload builds up its working set of memory.
> 2. Sample allocation rates more frequently than once every 100 ms.
> 3. Track trends in allocation rates. In some situations, the allocation rate trends upwards due to, for example, the start of a new phase of execution or a spike in client workload.
> 4. When we detect acceleration of allocation rate, predict consumption of memory based on accelerated allocation rates rather than assuming constant allocation rate.
Kelvin Nilsen has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a merge or a rebase. The pull request now contains 73 commits:
- Fix compile errors following merge from master
But there are still many correctness failures following this merge.
Still debugging.
- Merge remote-tracking branch 'jdk/master' into accelerated-triggers
- Respond to reviewer feedback
- Remove unneeded functions
- Changes requested by reviewers
1. Change coordination between ShenandoahAdaptiveHeuristics and
ShenandoahController/ShenandoahRegulator. Before,
ShenandoahAdaptiveHeuristics would poll ShenandoahController or
ShenandoahRegulator to obtain most recent wake time and planned sleep
time. Now ShnandoahController and and ShenandoahRegulator notify
ShenandoahAdaptiveHeuristics each time the values of these variables
change.
2. Use available() instead of capacity() - used() when recalculating
trigger threshold from within
ShenandoahAdaptiveHeuristcs::resume_idle_span().
- move some post_initialize() work into subclass ShenandoahGenerationalHeuristics
- Merge remote-tracking branch 'jdk/master' into accelerated-triggers
- Merge remote-tracking branch 'jdk/master' into accelerated-triggers
- Fix comment
- Use PROPERFMT macros
