Just want to make it 100% clear.
Android OS use 2 GC algorithms - Mark&Sweep and Concurrent Mark&Sweep. Before 2.3 there was no concurrent algorithm - just a serial one. Serial Mark&Sweep - is compacting algorithm and only work with Young generation. CMS works with both generations(Yong and Old) and it's not compacting, just uses free lists. Also, there is no PermGen space in Android. In general, CMS works with Old generation, because Young is already cleared by serial algorithm and this process called 'Full GC'. In general, CMS performs only partial clearing. Am i right ? :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
