Many folks are familiar with the three performance attributes of throughput, latency and (memory) footprint. And, many further understand the relationship with each. For instance, an improvement in one comes at the sacrifice of one or both of the other two, or an improvement in two comes at the sacrifice of the remaining one. However, there are times where improvements can be realized in all three. But, it usually requires a lot non-trivial development work.

Attendees of this session will come away with an understanding of how each of these performance attributes are influenced in terms of JVM garbage collection, and will also see an example of the amount of work involved to realize an improvement in all three performance attributes.
