  • Using thread pinning for gc

    by Karol Piątek,

    Your message is awaiting moderation. Thank you for participating in the discussion.

    Thank You for the presentation.
    It could become a primer before we even start approaching
    platforms, which are using GC.

    I was wondering,
    if this approach could speed up execution of parallel GC,
    by having GC threads pinned to specified cores/CPU.

    Thank You in advance.
    Karol
