Issues in performance modeling of applications with garbage collection

Abstract:

Even though garbage collectors are incorporated in many service oriented systems, service performance models typically treat garbage collector overhead as a constant background factor. We use benchmark experiments to show that this treatment can make the service performance models miss performance effects of significant scale, and provides an initial inquiry into the issues related to including a generic garbage collector overhead model as a part of the service performance models.
