osi·vor 10 Jahren·discussyes, exactly this. and by having scalable GC algos so you don't need to do "off heap" tricks in java, things are much easier.
osi·vor 10 Jahren·discussWhere is the data kept?The very large heaps are partially driven by distributed in-memory storage systems.
osi·vor 11 Jahren·discussMy mean pauses are a few hundred micros. Standard deviation is slightly more (300-500 micros), with a max of a millisecond or two.
osi·vor 11 Jahren·discussTo clarify, Azul's Zing does have pauses, but they optimized the crap out of them (the pauses are more time-to-safepoint rather than GC pauses). GC time wrt application stopped time is constant regardless of heap size.(I'm an Azul customer and Zing user)
