Serial收集器和Parallel Scavenge收集器不同表现

测试代码如下：

public class TestMinorGC {

    private static final int _1M = 1024 * 1024;
    
    public static void testAllocation(){
        byte[] allocation1, allocation2, allocation3, allocation4;
        allocation1 = new byte[2*_1M];
        allocation2 = new byte[2*_1M];
        allocation3 = new byte[2*_1M];
        allocation4 = new byte[4*_1M];
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        testAllocation();
    }
}

JDK新生代默认收集器是Parallel Scavenge。 

JVM参数配置如下：

-Xms20M -Xmx20M -Xmn10M -XX:SurvivorRatio=8 -XX:+PrintGCDetails

运行结果如下：

使用Serial收集器，增加JVM参数 -XX:+UseSerialGC。

运行结果如下：

[GC (Allocation Failure) [DefNew: 7128K->550K(9216K), 0.0063592 secs] 7128K->6694K(19456K), 0.0064370 secs] [Times: user=0.02 sys=0.00, real=0.01 secs]

结果对比可知：

PS收集器没有GC，4M的对象直接分配在了老年代。如果将对象大小改为3M或2M，将触发GC。

Serial收集器下，给4M的对象分配内存时触发了一次GC。GC产生的结果：6M的对象进入了老年代，4M的对象分配在了新生代。

Serial收集器下增加 -XX:PretenureSizeThreshold=3145728可产生PS收集器相同的结果。
