Well, you have double the number of cores (and HT), more modern CPU (2008 vs 
2013 with 3.2GHz Turbo bursts, 3 times the L2 Cache ) 
https://ark.intel.com/compare/75281,36941
and the new generation is bigger (which means lower young Gc frequency and with 
that less objects which survive) so it's only natural it is much faster.
If you have so frequent young GCs quadrupling the new size is a good start - 
even without looking at the gclogs.

Subject: Query on how to reducing Minor GC pause without any change in heap 
size by optimizing CPU cycles
To:  <hotspot-gc-use@openjdk.java.net>




Hello Team,

 

I am facing issue on one of the application which is having Minor GC happening 
every second with pause time of 120 ms due to which application throughput 
remains around 87%. Sometime it even drops below that. This is causing service 
impact for our Data network.

 

Application is having heap size of 48G and new size of 800 mb.

 

We have another Customer running same application and having same heap size of 
48G but new size of 2GB and catering more traffic in terms of transaction per 
second but it is havingMinor GC every two second  with pause time of only 80 ms 
due to which we are achieving good performance and throughput of more than 96%.

 

Only difference I found out between two Customer is first one is having old 
generation CPU(GenuineIntel family 6 model 29 step 1)  while second one is 
having relatively new CPU(GenuineIntel family 6 model 62 step 4).

 

But clock speed of both kind of CPU is same that is 2.4 Ghz and number of 
virtual cores are also same that is 24.

 

So my question is how come one CPU can perform better than another having same 
clock speed ?

 

What all are other factors associated with CPU that leads to complete 1 
transaction and how can I speed up CPU performance on my impacting Customer ?

 

Searching over internet I found one parameter GFLOP(Giga Floating point 
operations per second) which determine which CPU is faster and in this case 
obviously GFLOP for better performing Customer is 3.2Ghz while that of poor 
performing CPU is 1.2Ghz.

 

Avg CPU usage on poor performing site is 40-50% while Avg CPU usage on better 
performing site is 20%..

 

Please confirm shall I ask my Customer to add more CPU of same old 
specifications to speed up Minor GC cycles or they will need CPU upgrade to 
faster GFLOP CPU’s.

 

Other question is if I will increase new size from 800 mb to 2Gb on poor 
performing site then GC cycle frequency will change from 1 second to two second 
but I am worried if that will increase the pause time as well and overall 
application throughput will remain same or go down ?

 

Note : I cannot play with heap size of 48G as my Customer is having Concurrent 
mode failure issue once in 3-4 months so reducing overall heap size is not an 
option here.

 

Poor performing site CPU spec:

                                

                The physical processor has 6 virtual processors (0 4 8 12 16 20)

  x86 (chipid 0x0 GenuineIntel family 6 model 29 step 1 clock 2400 MHz)

        Intel(r) Xeon(r) CPU           E7458  @ 2.40GHz

The physical processor has 6 virtual processors (1 5 9 13 17 21)

  x86 (chipid 0x1 GenuineIntel family 6 model 29 step 1 clock 2400 MHz)

        Intel(r) Xeon(r) CPU           E7458  @ 2.40GHz

The physical processor has 6 virtual processors (2 6 10 14 18 22)

  x86 (chipid 0x2 GenuineIntel family 6 model 29 step 1 clock 2400 MHz)

        Intel(r) Xeon(r) CPU           E7458  @ 2.40GHz

The physical processor has 6 virtual processors (3 7 11 15 19 23)

  x86 (chipid 0x3 GenuineIntel family 6 model 29 step 1 clock 2400 MHz)

        Intel(r) Xeon(r) CPU           E7458  @ 2.40GHz

 

 

 

Better performing site CPU spec:

The physical processor has 24 virtual processors (0-11 24-35)

  x86 (chipid 0x0 GenuineIntel family 6 model 62 step 4 clock 2400 MHz)

        Intel(r) Xeon(r) CPU E5-2695 v2 @ 2.40GHz

The physical processor has 24 virtual processors (12-23 36-47)

  x86 (chipid 0x1 GenuineIntel family 6 model 62 step 4 clock 2400 MHz)

        Intel(r) Xeon(r) CPU E5-2695 v2 @ 2.40GHz
