Metronome Garbage Collector replaces the standard Garbage Collector
in WebSphere® Real
Time for AIX® on 64-bit POWER®.
Introduction to the Metronome Garbage Collector
The benefit of the Metronome Garbage Collector is that
the time it takes is more predictable and garbage collection can take
place at set intervals over a period of time.
Troubleshooting the Metronome Garbage Collector
Using the command-line options, you can control the frequency
of Metronome garbage collection, out of memory exceptions, and the
Metronome behavior on explicit system calls.
Metronome Garbage Collector limitation
When using the Metronome Garbage Collector,
you might experience longer than expected pauses
during garbage collection.
