AUTOMATIC GARBAGE COLLECTION THRASHING MONITORING

摘要

The system identifies objects that cause thrashing behavior in garbage collection. A garbage collection process may be monitored for a period of time. Over that period of time, a number of objects may be observed to be collected by the garbage collection process. Data may be collected for those objects and a subset of those objects may be determined to be suspicious based on data collected for each object. The suspicious objects may then be reported as causing garbage collection thrashing.
