Workshop topic: Deprecation of Parallel GC SerialOld

[Thomas Schatzl]

Hi all,

   I would like to propose the following topic for the workshop:

Title: Deprecation of Parallel GC SerialOld collector

Abstract: Parallel GC has a mode where it uses a single-thread 
Mark-Sweep algorithm for old generation collection enabled by 
-XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:-UseParallelOldGC (I think).

This mode seems to be very little used, but poses a certain maintenance 
overhead for testing and when changing functionality in Parallel GC.

We would like to discuss usage of this collector mode and deprecation.

Length: short?

Biography: Thomas Schatzl has been working on GC for 10+ years and has 
been part of the Oracle Hotspot GC team for 6 years.

Thanks,
   Thomas
