Parallel: Implement better work distribution for large object arrays in old gen

XMLWordPrintable

    • gc
    • b21

        Currently Parallel GC young gc distributes work to find dirty cards on stripe basis (65k areas of memory): if an object starts in a stripe assigned to a thread, that thread owns that object to find dirty cards exclusively.

        This is a problem with large objArrays that limits parallelism: a single worker thread will own that objArray, limiting throughput.

        That should also fix the difference between parallel gc and g1 gc in pause times (4-5x+) for DelayInducer (JDK-8062128) found in JDK-8309960.
