'Why do ephemeral segments get smaller with an increase in logical CPUs?
I'm currently reading up a little about garbage collection in .NET and found this Microsoft article about it. My question is about the section Ephemeral generations and segments. There is this table:
╔═════════════════════════════════╦════════╦════════╗
║ ║ 32-bit ║ 64-bit ║
╠═════════════════════════════════╬════════╬════════╣
║ Workstation GC ║ 16 MB ║ 256 MB ║
║ Server GC ║ 64 MB ║ 4 GB ║
║ Server GC with > 4 logical CPUs ║ 32 MB ║ 2 GB ║
║ Server GC with > 8 logical CPUs ║ 16 MB ║ 1 GB ║
╚═════════════════════════════════╩════════╩════════╝
Now what I don't understand is why the size of an ephemeral segment decreases with a higher logical CPU count, can anyone explain?
P.S if this question better suits the Software Engineering SE or any other please let me know so I can move it there
Solution 1:[1]
Because in Server GC the number of Managed Heaps is equal to the number of logical CPUs.
