Hi Joseph, here's 2 more blog entries by Chris Lyon (he's a .NET GC Tester) you could take a look at that I spotted over the weekend, relating to the two GCs in .NET 1.x.

Hi Chris,

I've a doubt on GC Server throughput. If I've 4 processors and I've an application running 4 threads, each on one processor, how does my application performance benefits from GC Server mode?

Hi Chew

On a 4-proc machine, Server GC will give you 4 GC Heaps, each with its own GC thread. In general, this will improve throughput since you'll have 4 times the number of threads collecting garbage than one.

However, depending on your application and its environment, Server GC may not be the most optimal solution for you. See Maoni's blog entry here:

Hi Chris,

I've posted the same question at maoni's blog. I thought I'll post it here again. Hope you don't mind. Do you think the used of GC in .Net has robbed its suitability in high performance computing applications, considering the fact that GC will suspend all managed threads and perform compacting of memory?

Hi Chew

I don't think .NET is unsuitable for all high performance applications, although as you pointed out, managed memory environments are not always suitable for applications with hard real-time requirements. We on the GC team are always working hard to enhance performance and reliablity of the GC and improve the user experience.

We have added new features in Orcas that reduce GC intrusiveness for blocks of performance-sensitive code (see http://blogs.msdn.com/clyon/archive/2007/03/12/new-in-orcas-part-3-gc-latency-modes.aspx). Rest assured, performance is one of the GC team's top priority.
