Weak Generational Hypothesis in Practice?
Track: Java
Topic: Garbage Collection
Focus: Generational GC
Java: Generational GC
Answer
Most objects die young, shortly after creation.
The Weak Generational Hypothesis suggests that most objects in Java applications become unreachable quickly after their creation, hence they are collected in the Young Generation space. For example, temporary objects created within a loop often become garbage soon after the loop iteration ends.
