- Java Tuning White Paper
- A general overview of tuning strategies for the JVM.
- Tuning Garbage Collection with Java 5
- Details about the GC options for Java 5.
- Understanding Concurrent Mark Sweep Garbage Collector Logs
- Provides good explanations of all that info the GC logs. The tool https://github.com/chewiebug/GCViewer provides a great visual representation and summary of the data from the GC log file.
- The PrintCompilationFlag
- Not covered here but usefull to learn what the JIT is doing on your system (or if you have HotSpot core dumps)
