G1 is Java's default garbage collector in most environments and its throughput has been considerably improved in JDK 26 by streamlining its write barriers, which are discussed in this episode together with regions, concurrent marking, and card tables.
Read MoreJava and Post-Quantum Cryptography
In this session, we'll show how the Java Platform is preparing for this paradigm shift in security by adding support for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), which are algorithms designed to be secure against quantum computer attacks. Come to this session to learn about the PQC-related features we've already delivered and what we're working on for JDK 27 and beyond.

The Java tool jcmd (“j command”) sends diagnostic commands to the JVM, which will react by supplying the desired information: from finalizer queues to heap and thread dumps, from GC insights to virtual thread scheduler statistics. At the moment, this requires a running JVM, but once candidate is adopted, a lot of that information can be seamlessly extracted from a crashed JVM’s core dump, allowing easy post-mortem analysis.
