Query about JRockit Garbage Collection

I have a question about Oracle's JRockit 1.6. When I use genpar, does it select parallel for new generation or old generation or both.

In Sun JDK its only for young (unless you set UseParallelOldGC) ; I am trying to understand whether the same is true for JRockit.

Solution

  • "genpar" uses parallel collection for both new and old generation.
