# Java Performance Skill

Optimize JVM performance through profiling, GC tuning, and memory analysis.

## Overview

This skill covers JVM performance optimization including garbage collection tuning, memory analysis, CPU profiling, and benchmarking with JMH.

## When to Use This Skill

Use when you need to:
- Tune GC for low latency or throughput
- Profile CPU hotspots
- Analyze memory leaks
- Benchmark code performance
- Optimize container settings

## Quick Reference

### GC Presets

```bash
# High-throughput
-XX:+UseG1GC
-XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200
-Xms4g -Xmx4g
-XX:+AlwaysPreTouch

# Low-latency
-XX:+UseZGC
-XX:+ZGenerational
-Xms8g -Xmx8g

# Memory-constrained
-XX:+UseSerialGC
-Xms512m -Xmx512m
-XX:+UseCompressedOops

# Container-optimized
-XX:+UseContainerSupport
-XX:MaxRAMPercentage=75.0
-XX:+ExitOnOutOfMemoryError
```

### Profiling Commands

```bash
# Thread dump
jstack -l <pid> > threaddump.txt

# Heap dump
jmap -dump:format=b,file=heap.hprof <pid>

# GC analysis
jstat -gcutil <pid> 1000 10

# Flight recording
jcmd <pid> JFR.start duration=60s filename=app.jfr

# Async profiler
./profiler.sh -d 30 -f profile.html <pid>
```

### JMH Benchmark

```java
@BenchmarkMode(Mode.Throughput)
@Warmup(iterations = 3, time = 1)
@Measurement(iterations = 5, time = 1)
@State(Scope.Benchmark)
public class MyBenchmark {

    @Benchmark
    public void testMethod(Blackhole bh) {
        bh.consume(compute());
    }
}
```

## GC Comparison

| GC | Latency | Throughput | Heap Size |
|----|---------|------------|-----------|
| G1 | Medium | High | 4-32GB |
| ZGC | Very Low | Medium | 8GB-16TB |
| Shenandoah | Very Low | Medium | 8GB+ |
| Parallel | High | Very High | Any |

## Troubleshooting

| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---------|-------|----------|
| GC thrashing | Heap too small | Increase heap |
| High latency | GC pauses | Switch to ZGC |
| Memory leak | Object retention | Heap dump + MAT |
| CPU spikes | Hot loops | Profile + optimize |
