Return to Question

I am currently running an application which requires a maximum heap size of 16GB.

Currently I use the following flags to handle garbage collection.

-XX:+UseParNewGC, -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC, -XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=50, -XX:+DisableExplicitGC, -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps, -XX:+PrintGCDetails, -Xloggc:/home/user/logs/gc.log

However, I have noticed that during some garbage collections, the application locks up for a few seconds and then carries on - This is completely unacceptable as it's a game server.

An exert from my garbage collection logs can be found below:

Any advice on what I should change in order to reduce these long pauses would be greatly appreciated.
