As part of our long collaboration with Oracle, there is a guest post by my PhD student Marina Shimchenko on the Inside JDK blog on our work on automatically deciding a heap size for Java programs based on using GC CPU overhead as a tuning knob. To see more blog posts made by students as part of this collaboration, see here.
