The end goal is to improve the JDK build process by generating a class data-sharing (CDS) archive with the help of the default class list on the 64-bit platform, effectively removing the need to run <code>java -Xshare:dump</code>. Among the goals for this feature are: 1.) Improve out-of-the-box startup time, and 2.) Get rid of the need to run -Xshare: dump to benefit from the CDS.

Shenandoah: A low-pause-time garbage collector (JEP 189)

Shenandoah is a garbage collection (GC) algorithm that aims to guarantee low response times (the lower end of 10 – 500 ms). It reduces the GC pause times by doing evacuation work simultaneously with the running Java threads. With Shenandoah, pause times are not dependent on the heap’s size. This means that pause times will be consistent no matter the size of your heap. A 10 MB or 10 GB heap should have the same pause time.

This is an experimental feature and is not included in the default (Oracle’s) OpenJDK build.
