The goal of this project is to create a scalable low latency garbage collector capable of handling heaps ranging from a few gigabytes to multi terabytes in size, with GC pause times not exceeding 10ms.

Be alright with D ^^

The Z Garbage Collector, also known as ZGC, is a scalable low latency garbage collector designed to meet the following goals:

    Pause times do not exceed 10ms
    Pause times do not increase with the heap or live-set size
    Handle heaps ranging from a few hundred megabytes to multi terabytes in size

At a glance, ZGC is:

    Concurrent
    Region-based
    Compacting
    NUMA-aware
    Using colored pointers
    Using load barriers

At its core, ZGC is a concurrent garbage collector, meaning all heavy lifting work is done while Java threads continue to execute. This greatly limits the impact garbage collection will have on your application's response time.
