Java Garbage Collection

Introduction One of the most important aspects of Java programming is memory management. When a Java program is run, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) allocates memory for the program to use. …

Garbage collection in Java is a process for managing memory and ensuring that unused or unnecessary objects are removed. It helps to improve the memory efficiency of an application by reclaiming space occupied by unreferenced objects, thus avoiding potential errors caused by memory leakage. Memory leakage in Java occurs when…

What is GC? Java applications obtain objects in memory as needed. It’s the task of garbage collection in the JVM to automatically determine what memory is no longer being used by a Java application and to recycle this memory for other users. Since memory is automatically reclaimed in the JVM, java application developers…

This is a very interesting and important to understand the role of garbage collection in Java. When the JVM starts up, it creates a heap memory area, which is also called a dynamic and runtime data area. All the objects and instances will be stored in the heap area. Garbage…

What are Garbage Collection (GC) Algorithms? History of Garbage Collection… Historically, the heap (the portion of memory dedicated to the program) was managed explicitly by the programmers by using allocate and release function calls in a library (such as malloc/free in C, and new/delete in C++). …

In this article we will discuss, What is Java Garbage Collection? and Its Algorithm. What is Garbage Collection?… Garbage collection (GC) has been one of Java’s most popular features. In Java, garbage collection is used to deallocate unused memory. Essentially, it is tracking down all the objects that are still…

In here we going to discuss about the most important feature in java which called Garbage Colloction and its Algorithms. Before touching garbage collection algorishtms we need to have clear understanding about the Garbage Collection… What is Garbage Colloction? In simple this is the process that runs by java programs on automatic memory management…

Garbage Collection: An Overview… It simply means that it handles waste, as the name implies. Java garbage collection is the process by which Java programs manage their memory automatically. Java programs are compiled into bytecode that can be executed by a Java Virtual Machine, or JVM for short. Objects are created on the heap…
