18:00 First talk - Garbage First Ratatouille by Thomas Schatzl and Ivan Walulya
This talk is going to be a wild potpourri of changes showing how the G1 collector has been getting out of the way of your Java application in the past few releases and beyond. It highlights a few little gems that might have slipped through general perception but are things that we GC engineers at Oracle really like to talk about.
Thomas Schatzl is a GC engineer at Oracle working predominantly on the G1 garbage collector for more than 11 years now.
Ivan Walulya is a GC engineer working at Oracle. He joined the GC-team in 2020 and has been active in OpenJDK since then with a focus on the G1 garbage collector.

Dr. Erik Österlund is a GC engineer from Oracle and has been working primarily on ZGC since 2016.
