Abstract:
Whilst not all workloads are created equal, it is becoming increasing apparent that "generational" garbage collection is often the most beneficial mode for running deployments based on WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere stack products.

In this session you'll learn the theory behind the generational garbage collection algorithms, understand when and how to move to a generational mode, and how to tune generational garbage collection to improve the performance of your deployments.
