What are the benefits of using the Concurrent Mark Sweep (CMS) garbage collector in Java?
CMS is used to improve throughput by performing the majority of garbage collection tasks in parallel with application threads.
Thatâ€™s partially correct. CMS focuses on minimizing pause times, not maximizing throughput, which is the goal of the Parallel GC.
Can you explain how the CMS GC works differently from the G1 GC in terms of pause-time handling?
