AEM JVM GC options

Garbage First (G1) Garbage Collection Options

Option and Default Value	Description
-XX:+UseG1GC	Use the Garbage First (G1), Collector
-XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=n	Sets a target for the maximum GC pause time. This is a soft goal, and the JVM will make its best effort to achieve it.
-XX:InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent=n	Percentage of the (entire) heap occupancy to start a concurrent GC cycle. It is used by GCs that trigger a concurrent GC cycle based on the occupancy of the entire heap, not just one of the generations (e.g., G1). A value of 0 denotes 'do constant GC cycles'. The default value is 45.
-XX:NewRatio=n	The ratio of old/new generation sizes. The default value is 2.
-XX:SurvivorRatio=n	The ratio of Eden/survivor space size. The default value is 8.
-XX:MaxTenuringThreshold=n	The maximum value for the tenuring threshold. The default value is 15.
-XX:ParallelGCThreads=n	Sets the number of threads used during parallel phases of the garbage collectors. The default value varies with the platform on which the JVM is running.
-XX:ConcGCThreads=n	A number of threads concurrent garbage collectors will use. The default value varies with the platform on which the JVM is running.
-XX:G1ReservePercent=n	Sets the amount of heap that is reserved as a false ceiling to reduce the possibility of promotion failure. The default value is 10.
-XX:G1HeapRegionSize=n	With G1 the Java heap is subdivided into uniformly sized regions. This sets the size of the individual sub-divisions. The default value of this parameter is determined ergonomically based upon heap size. The minimum value is 1Mb and the maximum value is 32Mb.
