  • A Comparative Study of Garbage Collection Techniques in Java Virtual Machines
    Sindh Univ. Res. Jour. (Sci. Ser.) Vol.44 (4) 667- 672 (2012) SINDH UNIVERSITY RESEARCH JOURNAL (SCIENCE SERIES) A Comparative Study of Garbage Collection Techniques in Java Virtual Machines S. IQBAL, M.A. KHAN, I.A. MEMON* Department of Computer Science, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Pakistan. Received 07th February 2012 and Revised 12th July 2012 Abstract: Garbage collection mechanisms implemented in Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) are used to reclaim memory allocated to the objects that become inaccessible during program execution. An efficient garbage collection mechanism certainly facilitates in smooth running of an application. This paper performs a comparative analysis of garbage collection techniques implemented in Sun HotSpot, Oracle JRockit and IBM J9 virtual machines. We perform experiments with several benchmarks containing dynamic creation for objects of TreeMap, ArrayList and String array data types. Due to the creation of a large number of big sized memory objects and loss of references, the garbage is created that is collected by the garbage collectors implemented in the virtual machines. The experiments are carried out on different hardware architectures including Intel Core 2 Quad and Intel Xeon based systems. The performance of each garbage collector is computed in terms of the rate of garbage collection that mainly depends upon the strategy implemented for garbage collection. Our results show that the Sun HotSpot garbage collector performs 4.66 times better than the Oracle JRockit and 144.06 times better than the IBM J9 garbage collectors. Keywords: Garbage Collection, Java Virtual Machines, JRockit, IBM J9, Sun HotSpot, Bytecode. This paper contributes towards a performance 1. INTRODUCTION Java is a widely used language that is analysis of the garbage collection approaches implemented on a large variety of platforms ranging implemented in virtual machines.

All other product names mentioned herein are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners. In memory of my brother. (Wolfgang Eisl, 1973–2016) v Abstract Register allocation, i.e., mapping the variables of a programming language to the physical reg- isters of a processor, is a mandatory task for almost every compiler and consumes a significant portion of the compile time. In a just-in-time compiler, compile time is a particular issue because compilation happens during program execution and contributes to the overall application run time. Compilers often use global register allocation approaches, such as graph coloring or linear scan, which only have limited potential for improving compile time since they process a whole method at once. With growing methods sizes, these approaches are reaching their scalability boundary due to their limited flexibility. We developed a novel trace register allocation framework, which competes with global approaches in both, compile time and code quality. Instead of processing a whole method at once, our al- locator processes linear code segments (traces) independently and is therefore able to (1) select different allocation strategies based on the characteristics of a trace in order to control thetrade- off between compile time and peak performance, and (2) to allocate traces in parallel inorderto reduce compilation latency, i.e., the time until the result of a compilation is available.

  • Bachelor Degree Project Evaluation of Graalvm Performance for Java
    Bachelor Degree Project Evaluation of GraalVM Performance for Java Programs Author: Robin Larsson Supervisor: Sabri Pllana Semester: VT 2020 Subject: Computer Science Abstract GraalVM is a new Java Development Kit developed by Oracle that promises improved performance when running Java programs. In this paper we compare the performance of both the community edition and the enterprise edition of GraalVM to OpenJDK and OracleJDK, using both Java 8 and Java 11. We use the DaCapo bench- mark suite to test these JDKs. The results are analysed using statistically rigorous methodology. We find that the performance of the different JDKs vary significantly depending on the benchmark, making it difficult to draw any definitive conclusions. In the end we can see that GraalVM Enterprise Edition using Java 8 will outperform the other JDKs tested in the majority of cases. Keywords: Java, GraalVM, performance, JDK, JVM Preface I would like to extend my thanks to my supervisor Sabri Pllana for all his advice and support during this project.
