The purpose of the Hot Card Cache is to collect often dirtied cards during mutator time.
Anecdotal evidence indicates that the HCC does not contribute meaningfully to performance because:
- it is very small (JDK-8135064); an application doing lots of refinement will overflow it quickly
- an application doing little refinement will not use it
However its data structures use a card map across the whole heap, i.e. one byte per card, which is 0.2% of the heap. That memory could be used more usefully in other places.
Test and investigate its usefulness, also taking the concerns forJDK-8135064 into account.
There may also be better ways that use less memory to cause the same effect.
