Real-time graph showing heap generations

June 23, 2014 Leave a comment

I am able to dynamically update a graph in real-time with test data using the code shown in the previous post. The graph is refreshed without refreshing the entire browser. Even though the particular JavaScript graph library will be replaced with another better one, at this time the tests are successful.
Now I will be able to use JMX to get the YoungGen data from the heap and show actual data as the GC collects the garbage.

All the code will be pushed to Github.

Garbage collection book

I have started reading this but there is no plan to complete it at this time. I will try.

I will try to write about key research topics in the book if I understand it well. I know that is hard for a run-of-the-mill software developer like me.

In fact I started reading the earlier version more than 5 years back but never completed it.
